    OK! Would it be possible for any of you that presented this issue to give this beta a try and report back here whether or not the issue persists for you?

     

    Thanks!

Same issue here on 10.11.6 (El Capitan).

Noticed it on June 20, 2018

 

 

Day 5 of no Dropbox.

 

Dropbox had worked just fine till last Thursday.

I cannot open the Dropbox desktop app anymore. The Dropbox icon has disappeared from the menu bar.

It is still possible to start the app as long as I am not connected to the internet. The second I establish a connection to the internet the app crashes.

    I have installed the beta (53.3.65) on my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan). 
    My Dropbox desktop app is running again.
     
    No crashes. Problem solved.
