Did anyone solve this issue? I'm also having the same problem. I've tried all of the ideas I have, those listed through the community online support, and tech support from Dropbox. Nothing has worked, and Dropbox has been awful with a response only once every 24 hours simply linking to old community support options, which I've already tried. I've been using Dropbox flawlessly for years. This is so disappointing.
Yes,
We must change DropBox HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / DropBox
DropBox .
I use Google Translate, but you should be able to find where to go.
I tried this option previously, and just now. In fairness, the translation does not fit the command options that I have. So, it is possible that I am not following your instructions properly. However, if I follow as I suspect I should, then It is not working for me. I continue to get the following:

No, (re)giving myself all permissions on the Dropbox registry entry did not fix the problem. I get the same error log as Monica.
I had the same problem using windows 7 Pro – 64 bit.
After almost a week of desperate attempts, finally I solved it!
Now…I’m not sure it is the safer solution and the only way to fix it… do it at your own risk!
Actually the problem was related with privileges. But the configuration of the folders was ok (according to DB customer service instructions).
What I did was [my OS is not in English…hope you can follow me]:
Hope this can help. Let me know.

The solution by@alberto worked for me. In fact, I had gone through all the steps mentioned by many posters, including: setting permissions, uninstalling/reinstalling the app, resetting permissions again. The problem I was having was a missing file: databases.pyo, which was causing an "access denied" error. I created an empty text file and renamed it "databases.pyo" and then started dropbox.exe as an admin.
It worked...
