Hi juanzorz,
Try figure out if something prevents opening network port on 127.0.0.1:17600 and/or prevents browser access to there. Dropbox application while running listens on there. When you open Dropbox site, it tries connect there (so the page recognize running application) and if the connection is unsuccessful, the site assumes no local application runs and removes all local handlers (including Open in File Explorer). Typical "guilty" is some security software or similar. Check network limitations settings on all similar tools on your machine.
Good luck.
