Dropbox App Stuck in Starting Loop
For the past few days, my dropbox desktop app is stuck on this screen. I've tried doing disk utility to my drive, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, etc. I am still able to access everything synced through my Finder, but there hasn't been any new syncing since this problem arrose.
I'm running Dropbox (Version v136.4.4345) on MacOS Mojave (Version 10.14.6)

Is there is a possibility that a proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router issues could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
I am having the same problem--the Dropbox app is looping on startup.
I have MAC Ventura 13.2.1
Dropbox version 170.4.5895
Please advise. Thank you!

Hi scottstewart, could you try reinstalling the app, while not uninstalling it first, via this link?
My dropbox app on Macbook Pro have been stuck on the initial "Starting" phase for a couple of days in a loop of hell. I have weeks of skript writing on stake here. The file is 6.1 mb så i cant see why it would be heavy to handle. The whole computer is grinding to a halt. Writing this is a miracle. Please, can you solve this for me?

Hey Jonathan123, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
When did you notice that this issue started? Was it after some kind of update, either of Dropbox or your OS?
Also, what is your computer's OS version?
