I had also problems with stucking on connecting state & crashing after few minutes even after a clean install. After installing an old build (https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-79-4-143/td-p/360015) without deinstalling the current version, dropbox restarts and autoupdate himself - after this its start working again! Hope this helps someone!

I can really empathize with what everyone's going through here, db's new desktop client/forced update release has wreaked havoc on my workflow and their tech support is absolutely abysmal! I've bee dealing with this for 17 days now!!! Totally unacceptable for a paid premium service.
I was able to find a workaround for my mac using a network filter to block db from updating itself. I use Little Snitch, https://www.obdev.at/littlesnitch/ but any network filter firewall should be able to handle this...
I can't seem to share a screenshot here so here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/klhodtunga54r7u/Screenshot%202019-09-26%2011.23.32.png?dl=0
Hope this helps some of you folks get back to work, it did for me!

@omdreamer are you able to revert your Dropbox version back on your Mac? If so, please share! I have the same issue, on MBP 10.12.6 Sierra.
