My Windows version is Windows 10 Pro 22H2, and my Dropbox version is v207.4.35821. The number of shared files is unknown, but the total shared file size is approximately 330GB.

Dropbox StaffHi H. Hanyang, did you have the chance to check the advanced re-installation process, and perform it on the device?
I've tried an advanced reinstallation, completely removing and reinstalling the software, but the problem remains. I suspect it might be conflicting with Adobe Creative Cloud. Dropbox, which has worked flawlessly for 10 years, is now malfunctioning. I'm at a loss as to what to do next. If I can't find a solution, I'll have to explore other cloud storage options.

Hey H. Hanyang - could you try the latest, stable version of the app from this page directly and let us know how it goes?
If the issue persists, you can try creating a new OS profile and installing the app there as a test.
Keep us posted anyhow.
I have completely uninstalled the Dropbox app and reinstalled version 208.4.5824 using the provided link. However, Dropbox only runs immediately after installation. Upon rebooting, I consistently encounter the error message "Dropbox has unexpectedly quit," preventing the app from launching or synchronizing. During the reboot process, the Dropbox icon appears on the taskbar a couple of times before disappearing, followed by the error message.
I suspect that this issue might be related to a conflict with Adobe Creative Cloud, as both applications provide cloud storage services. Although our company has used both Adobe and Dropbox products on two PCs for the past 10 years without any problems, both machines have started experiencing this exact issue simultaneously.
Please note that both Adobe Creative Cloud and Dropbox (version 208.4.5824) are fully updated. I'm concerned that if Dropbox cannot provide a solution, we may need to explore alternative cloud storage options.
