Hi Hannah, thank you so much for your swift reply, this is very much appreciated. I have been using Dropbox in my small office for quite some years and it's disorienting not to be able to use it anymore. This morning the same thing happened on my other Appel (on Monterey as well). Here's the screenshot of what it gives when I hover the icon on the menu bar.
thanks so much for any advise you could give me.

Hey galtieroussel36, thanks for letting us know more!
As a test, can you try to temporarily disable any antivirus/firewall or security software running on your machine, along with any other 3rd-party apps you may have on your device?
Is it possible that you have any ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?

Hi Megan,
thank you for your reply and for your help. I have box, Indesign and pcloud drive on my computer, I have tried to quit them and it still does not work. I do not have any firewall or protection on my apples. Dropbox on my catalina apple still works.
Thanks so much for any advice you might have.
