Can't open Dropbox on new macOS Sequoia 15.2 - it does't respond and closes

I've downloaded the latest Software version for Mac Os. I Install, and try to open from apps and then menu bar. Dropbox does not respond then closes. Tried a complete uninstall reinstall and same thing. Any solutions?

    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?

        Ok, I tried this and still have no function of the installed Dropbox app or menu icon. No change.

    Can't  do that right now, dropbox is in a loop opening my brower every 5 seconds on its own to this address:

     address.https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce=1ac3a824e5a3589ee64129321d0482bf

    I need you to tell me how to uninstall. I cant use my computer like this unless I disconnect my internet. A real mess.
