Hi there 1502646, sorry to hear about this.

 

Can you clarify your device's exact OS version for us please? 

 

If you're running an antivirus or firewall or even a VPN/proxy on your computer, could you try disabling them temporarily and try again?

 

Let us know of any updates!

Windows 10.
I disabled my antivirus, but Dropbox still doesn't work (and the antivirus didn't interfere with it work before the crash).
I don't use vpn.
Dropbox was added to the built-in Windows Firewall a long time ago (long before it crashed)
