    Update: a complete uninstall, and reinstall using the latest offline installer (version 52.4.60) seemed to fix the problem.

Same problem.  Updated to Mojave 10.14.2 Running Dropbox v63.4.107 on a late 2015 iMac.  I uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox (which takes several days as my system has a million total files, which I selective synch to my computer).  It worked for a couple of days then it stalled again at Starting.  

I have restarted Dropbox and restarted the computer. I have a laptop which I did not upgrade to Mojave and Dropbox works fine on this.  My entire team relies on Dropbox.
