Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Shelski.
Did you manage to sign in to the app at all, or is it not even allowing you to do that?
Can you try a more advanced reinstall, to see if that helps?
Keep me posted!

I’ve tried all of the above. Not working. Now when I click the app, it loops opening the Dropbox site on my default browser indefinitely until I close the program. Is Dropbox compatible with Mac 15.2 sequoia?

Hey Shelski, it should be compatible, yes.
You can try to uninstall using these steps. If you come across any issues while doing that, let me know.
Also, you mentioned that you can't access our website either. Is there a possibility that a proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router issues that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?

To be Clear:
I am on a mac Version 15.02
I uninstalled as recommended on the website for mac uninstall
I reinstalled this download. "Dropbox 214.4.5217.dmg"
Upon open, the dropbox app repeatedly opens the dropbox website in 5 second intervals to install drop box on the mac. Then when I try to install, the app says it is no longer open. The loop of events goes on infinetly.
I try to turn off System Settings>General>Login items & extensions, and dropbox turns it back on by its self.

Hey Shelski. As a test, can you try to install a previous version of the Dropbox app instead and let me know if you face the same behavior/message?
