    Hey tvmunforgettable, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Can you try to install the Dropbox application, using the offline installer, to see if that helps?

     

    Keep me posted.

I think I have the same issue. Upgraded to Monterey (12.6.1) and when I try to open Dropbox now, instead of the app opening, my Drive opens with Dropbox listed on the sidebar...I've tried Security and Privacy and grated Full Disk Access, but still no joy...what next? I can still access Dropbox on the web, but I've always been able to open the app on my iMac...any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
