MacOS Monterey 12.5 won't install Dropbox?

New macbook arrived.. but I can't seem to install dropbox locally. (Have web access) but wanted to add folder to my finder (as before) so that I have local access to all of my files. 

The installer did download - but didn't start. 

Search for dropbox - and nothing. 

Yet when I go to download it again... it says "looks like you've already installed dropbox" and asks me to open the app. 

 

Click open the App and nothing happens. 

 

Searching for Dropbox - gives me no files. 

 

Is it not supported on 12.5 yet? Is there a way to install on this version ? 

 

Thanks in advance,

      I had this same exact problem and this seems to resolve.  The normal weblink download does not work for initial install on new machine.

      I think I have the same issue. Upgraded to Monterey (12.6.1) and when I try to open Dropbox now, instead of the app opening, my Drive opens with Dropbox listed on the sidebar...I've tried Security and Privacy and grated Full Disk Access, but still no joy...what next? I can still access Dropbox on the web, but I've always been able to open the app on my iMac...any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
