Hi, I removed drobox from my MAC book Air M2 with MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68).

I tryed to removed all folder on Library which I could find.

I downloaded a full app new from DB website.

Installation ran good, no error.

When I launch app unfortunately the APP is popping on topbar but remain on "start-up in progress" phase for a minute and then a message error appear.

Here the text translated:

Unable to start Dropbox.
This may be a temporary error. Restart Dropbox.
For more information, click the help button.

And there is a link for a log file which I reported here:

Hi @nosense, before we continue, have you fully shut down and rebooted the Mac more than once when this issue occurred, instead of putting it into sleep mode?
