    My Dropbox autoupdated (via Dropbox Update process) to 161.4.4923 (released Nov 9, 2022 ) and Dropbox no longer has an issue starting up and my files  are up to date. Walter pointed me to 161.4.4923 stable build and the offline installer updated the /Applications/Dropbox app as well.  See all the desktop builds by going to dropboxforum.co, under the "Do More with Dropbox" > "Desktop client builds" menu at the top of the website.
