Hello friend.
Unfortunately, after several tests I did, the only alternative I found was to delete the aforementioned folders and reinstall, thus correcting the permissions.
Here is a link where my suggestion was accepted as a solution.

same error here after updating to osx Ventaru 13.1. Dropbox message, 'files will be moved to a save location, it will take up to 10 min'. Error message 'you need to restart the computer'. And now Dropbox won't startup and only showing a link to a log-file.
Is there a solution?

After upgrading Ventura 13.1, Dropbox (business subscription) stopped syncing.
All of our dropbox stored files are not retained locally.
I tried to add an image file to dropbox from dropbox.app but it just sat there spinning wheels overnight.
There is no dropbox icon on the top bar or the bottom bar.
I checked Activity monitor App confirming that was Dropbox.app active.
I removed dropbox.app, downloaded new dropbox.app, re-installed.
After installation, no dialogue appeared.
I double clicked dropbox.app in applications folder.
That process opened the finder window.
Again, no evidence in action bars top or bottom, and not syncing.
Now, when right clicking on a file, there are no dropbox actions available.
