Thanks, Walter  I checked, and yes, I was on early release, so I turned that setting off and reinstalled build 214.4.5217. App asked for access when installing and was granted.

Dropbox had been granted full disk access, and the new install build 214.4.5217 also has disk access and accessibility.

Restarted iMac and once again was asked to grant access as per original post, restarted again just to be sure, yep, same.
