Hello H. Hanyang - welcome to the Dropbox Community!
I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with our desktop app on your computer. Have you already tried performing an advanced reinstall?
While we're at it, what's the exact OS and Dropbox version that your device is using and approximately how many files are you trying to sync via the desktop app?
Thanks in advance!

My Windows version is Windows 10 Pro 22H2, and my Dropbox version is v207.4.35821. The number of shared files is unknown, but the total shared file size is approximately 330GB.

Hi H. Hanyang, did you have the chance to check the advanced re-installation process, and perform it on the device?

I've tried an advanced reinstallation, completely removing and reinstalling the software, but the problem remains. I suspect it might be conflicting with Adobe Creative Cloud. Dropbox, which has worked flawlessly for 10 years, is now malfunctioning. I'm at a loss as to what to do next. If I can't find a solution, I'll have to explore other cloud storage options.

Hey H. Hanyang - could you try the latest, stable version of the app from this page directly and let us know how it goes?
If the issue persists, you can try creating a new OS profile and installing the app there as a test.
Keep us posted anyhow.
