I installed the dropbpx on the new mac M1 but the dropbox icon appears and dispappears on the menubar (flickering). It seems if the dropbox tries to start but get a hangover everytime. I can't uninstall it because it's still running. I can't sign out as well because I can't get in the setting menu. What can I do now? Is there any other possibility to uninstall?
Thanks for help.

Hi All,
Hoping someone could assist here.
Just got a new Mac Book and did the integration.
From memory Dropbox worked for the first few days and now I am getting this issue.
Does anyone know how to resolve?
Thanks!
