Files not syncing to MacOS using selective sync in the app

I am using MacOS 1.4 on my MacBook Air (m2)


I had an account on this lapotp where I could sync files easily

 

Now I created a new account in the laptop, but I cannot sync files from Dropbox to my laptop. When I select "Sign In" in the top menu, Dropbox app allows me to CHOOSE the folders I want to sync, but after that I just see a busy hourglass (the squares) and no files are syncing

 

And In dropbox settings->Preferences->Sync - I cannot select anything (Select folders to sync to this Mac) or "Dropbox for macOS on File Provider) I see a message - You are not eligible for the udpated Dropbox for macOS"
