macOS Monterey 12 - Couldnt Start Dropbox

DropboxInstaller.dmg doesn't even work on Monterey, it won't launch.
I've tried BatchMod, CodeSigner, DeQuarantine, and the usual sudo Terminal commands on it and still nothing, it won't launch even right clicking etc.
There's a real issue of Dropbox (not) running under Monterey environment.
Do you try this?
"This is a step by step sequences....!
1) by Activity Monitor (you find it in Launchpad-Others-Activity Monitor) search and select all Dropbox items (especially Dropbox Finder Extension) and stop by the :cross_mark_button: or X bottom on the top of the app;
2) by Force Quit (in the System Menu Screenshot 2021-10-29 at 09.50.19.png) refresh or relaunch Finder;
3) in System Preference-Security and Privacy-Full Disk Access (after clicking lock to make change in the bottom left corner), enable Dropbox.App.
4) I think is better to restart computer after that."
Bye.

1. Since the installer won't start, your method doesn't solve the issue on my end
2. Even after managing to install Dropbox through another installer, I've tried this many times, even (-) and then (+) Dropbox again, and restart of course, but this is not having any impact nor solving the issue on my end: Dropbox won't start again after each restart of the computer
