Try Andrea solution is works. force quit for finder and give full access to disk via system Preference / security-confidentiality . Restart.
The question than is why full access is necessary with Monterey and wasn't in previous mac OS ? Isn't it a secuity breach ?

Nothing I try works. I have 2 accounts in Dropbox, so the Terminal instructions does not work as it is and I'm not that familiar with it that I could modify the commands on my own.
edit: I finally dared to download Dropbox installation file that @shinbeth recommended and voila, installed it and now it works perfectly, no need to restart. I did a virus scan on the file and found nothing suspicious. I hope it really is free of any malware.
