Dropbox for windows says "reconnecting to internet"
Starting today, when I boot up my machine, Dropbox for Windows says "reconnecting to internet" indefinitely, although my machine is connected to the internet and the connection speed is good. How can...

I confirm the same for myself.
if the Internet does not appear in the system immediately, then Dropbox does not connect to the account, although the Internet is available (later).
in my case, the network card is initialized with a delay.
in this situation, you will have to close Dropbox and start it again (when the Internet is available) so that Dropbox can connect.
all other programs, such as the browser, quickly respond to the advent of the Internet.

The internet is available immediately on my machine.

perhaps then the problem is not related to the Internet startup speed, but the problem is present

just conducted an experiment.
on a computer where everything is fine with Dropbox at boot.
disabled the network card by software and rebooted.
After a complete reboot, when the dropbox booted up, I turned on the network card.
A local network and the Internet appeared.
Dropbox does not connect even though there is internet.
this is all similar to my situation.Perhaps the network card initialization delays are different.
in my case they are obvious, in others they may not be noticeable to the eye
