We have identified an issue with the Dropbox desktop application alpha build that was released on June 15th, which caused the client to fail to load correctly on start-up. Our team have now resolved this issue.If you have noticed that your Dropbox application has stopped running as intended, please visit dropbox.com/install to install the latest version. If you are on the latest version, please restart your device.Please note it is not necessary to turn off early releases for this fix as previously mentioned in this thread. If you have turned off early releases and would like to continue receiving early releases, please follow these steps.We apologize for the disruption this caused your workflows. If you have questions or concerns, please let us know.Thank you.
Spoke to Dropbox support. Basically a beta update was released last night so if you're signed up for "Early Release" downloads then you probably have this issue. To fix this first go to dropbox.com then Settings>General and then unselect Early Release. Then go to "https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-176-4-5108/td-p/691723" and download the last stable build and reinstall!
Worked for me!
Thanks. Mine has been up and stable for more than an hour after uninstalling and installing this stable version.
I also turned off the 'early releases' in my options.
Hopefully this fixes it, but it's already been working longer than it has been for the last day so I'm optimistic!
