I have figured out on how to resolve this issue and the app now seems to be working fine on my laptop.
All you would have to do is

4. Download the app through the steps that it take you through.

I have tried reinstalling the software with an offline downloader link as well, and it still has the same problem.

Dropbox StaffHey Simran97, if you click on the Dropbox icon, then on the gear icon, then on "preferences", and then go to the "account" tab, are you able to sign in from there?

Hi from me as well, Simran97!
Just to clarify, did you also try Jay’s suggestion above, and performed an advanced reinstall?
Hi Nancy,
I have tried to follow the instructions in the link for advanced resinstall, however, I am not sure I got it right.
I am not much of a tech savvy and I was not able to follow the steps for the terminal application.
Is there anyway someone from the team could support me via team viewer?
