MacOS 12.5 Beta (21G5063a) and Dropbox installation problem
Running this OS I have found that that Dropbox application would not start automatically. I removed the existing Dropbox app and attempted to reinstall it, but found that the installer would not open...

Hi @ewnesi, it seems like you still have the Dropbox desktop application installed on your machine if it is appearing in the activity monitor.
If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link?

Many thanks for your comments.
I posted this because I thought the behaviour might be related to the OS beta and it could be helpful.
The other question you ask relates to where Dropbox is started from. I have to say I find this very hard to follow myself so perhaps my confusion is clouding thing.
As far as I can tell, I have no Dropbox app installed on my computer. When first logging in, Dropbox can be started from a link on a Dropbox web page. Once this happens, it appears that Dropbox is running and a number of processes with Dropbox in the name show up in the activity monitor. The number of these increases (see screenshot) with time.
Something does not seem to be right here.
