I have been experiencing this over the past month.  Dropbox is quietly crashing/quitting/closing.  I use Dropbox desktop all day long.  I will go to drag files into my folder, and then expect to get the Green Check Mark indicating it is uploaded...and all of those icons are missing.  I then look up to the menu bar and the dropbox icon is missing.  So I go to my dock, and re-launch dropbox...wait for things to sync-up and then everything is fine until it happens again.  I was thinking I have some weird Keyboard Maestro keystroke that is accidentally killing dropbox.  I have no idea what is causing this.

I am on a MacStudio M2 Ultra running Sequoia 15.3.1 and Dropbox Ver. 218.4.4348

    I just finished an 18 hour work day...and DropBox did not crash once today!
    I noticed on the menu bar, after hovering over the DropBox icon that the software version changed.  Mine is now at Ver 219.4.4463
    When I posted in this forum 3 days ago, it was at Ver. 218.4.4348.

    Fingers crossed that perhaps the new version that got pushed out has remedied this issue?
