Suddenly Dropbox not working on all of my Mac. I've two macbook pro and 3 iMac all OS is Ventura 13.4
I am having the same problem with the same system.
Now I'm in chat with support team
I have a brand new MBA 15" M2 - and was DB app was fine yesterday and the app died today. After three re-stalls, seems to be ok now. Odd for sure.
Ventura 13.4
Having a similar issue it seems. It was working fine last night / this morning (possibly) but has since crashed and won't start. I tried a clean install (deleting all DB files from library) and it started, only to disappear when I went to right click on folder to share in finder. Horrible!! I just had to do a really headache-inducing clean install after dealing with massive issues with Beta last month! (currently using the non-Beta version)

Curious: you had the issue even though you didn't have the beta (i.e., "Early releases") option in "General" preferences checked on your account page at: https://www.dropbox.com/account/general?
I'm sure I'd switched mine off—but then I checked and found it had been reenabled. Just curious if that was the case for you or anyone else…
Thanks!
Reinstalled from the installer, it ran fine for a couple of minutes, now it's gone again: does not start, does not copy links from the finder. What's going on?
Same for me. It was working fine yesterday (June 15, 2023) at 12:30pm. Then the icon was gone from the menu bar and showed as "Dropbox (Not Responding)" in Activity Monitor at 5:15pm when I updated a file, but no sync happened.
Last night I uninstalled Dropbox from my MacBook Pro running MacOS Ventura 13.4 and reinstalled. Dropbox went through it's indexing process, then sync'd the files I had updated on my Mac with my Dropbox as it did before. However, within 10 minutes, the icon was gone from the menu bar again. Dropbox was not sync'ing once again.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 or 6 times now with the same results. It syncs for a few minutes, then disappears from the menu bar. Everything worked great until Thursday, June 15th around noon CDT for me. No new software installed, no changes made to MacBook.
Any suggestions?
