Im having exactly same problem. Agravated that i havent realized Dropbox stopped working sometime this week. I´ve noticed this by chance: i made fresh install of dropbox in MS Surface tablet with windwos 10... this reported issue emerged. So I went to my Windows 11 desktop to see what happened there, and realized that dropbox was not working. I tried opening app and nothing happend. I uninstalled from desktop and did fresh install, and the issue reported here also happened in my desktop. So now i have this problem duplicated in two devices. On my android device is ok.
Something weird, aside of all i wrote before, is that when i right click properties in windows explorer, i have 123gb (all data in dropbox) with the grey cloud icon, but when i go to "manage hard drive space" in app it says 40gb is used by dropbox. And when i want to chose files or folders it only shows me determined folders, not all of them.
