I have tried the advanced reinstall and it did help to successfully install the app thankfully but the problem now is the app doesn’t open it just keeps redirecting to the web browser i.e “the app doesn’t open “ . After the installation and you click OPEN SIGN IN on the welcome to Dropbox page it redirects you to a webpage with the icon written OPEN DROPBOX which I clicked it brings me back to the Dropbox welcome page “leave this screen open. A sign in prompt will appear “.

Hey Pavel_G49 - sorry to jump in here, but could you try creating a new OS profile or start your device on Safe Mode and let us know if this persists?
If you have any antivirus or firewalls or VPN/proxy settings on your computer, you can temporarily disable them as well.
