HI axe, yes, Mark was referring to the Dropbox icon on the menu bar. If you hover over that icon, what message do you see?
It might be better to click it and see the full message on the bottom left of the app.
Additionally, how many files do you have on the Dropbox Business team approximately?

The computer is in German, but I will translate. When I click on the menu bar icon I get a window that says at the bottom "Your files are up-to-date" At the top of that window it offers to add the linked business account. If I click "Add" nothing happens.
I see also now that after this last round of completely uninstalling and reinstalling Dropbox the personal account does not synchronize. None of my shared folders appear in my personal Dropbox folder anymore (personal Dropbox folder is empty). Note that when I go to Dropbox.com through a web browser all shared files and folders are available as expected, both personal and business team.
The Dropbox Team account has about 20 files with a total storage of maybe 5MB.

Thanks for the info. Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?

No.
Note that until trying to add the Team account the personal Dropbox account was working perfectly - all files and folders syncing as expected.
