Hi Jay, I called Apple today and they advised me to create a new user profile and download the app there. It worked, so we isolated it to my main user profile. But in the end, I simply signed out of my dropbox account from the preferences tab, and then re-started the app. It worked.

Thanks again.
My solution was, after uninstalling with File Provider, you must also delete the hidden dropbox files in Finder. Once I did this, installation was fine.
My problem was that over 50% of my files were “Moved” to the newly created “conflicted copy” folders and NOT left in the original folders, including folders shared with me (I was not the owner, yet files were moved out of the owners folder to my personal CC folders). To fix my issue, I had to manually move all the files and folders back to where they belonged.
