Dropbox MacOS: app stuck with "Connecting Components" message on Sequoia.

Hello,

My MacOS Dropbox client is stuck during on a state showing "Connecting Components", and I can't connect to the Dropbox server and access my files.

When I access the Dropbox client's preferences page, I see:

"Dropbox is still starting up and loading your accounts"

I am using MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1 and the Dropbox Mac client is v213.4.4597

Thank you,

Alan

    Hey Alan_D_UK, let's jump right into this!

    How long has the app been like this? 

    Is it possible that you recently updated your Mac's OS? If you have a screenshot of the "connecting components" message you see on your end, feel free to attach in on your next response, in order for me to have a visual too.

    Keep me posted!
