Dropbox stuck at "Starting"
Date: 6/24/2018
OS: macOS Sierra Version 10.12.6 (updated last week and then didn't use my laptop until yesterday)
Dropbox version: v52.4.58
Dropbox account: Personal, 71% of 15.4GB used
...
Update: a complete uninstall, and reinstall using the latest offline installer (version 52.4.60) seemed to fix the problem.
I have the same issue after upgrading to Mojave 10.14.4 / Dropbox 69.4.102.
Endless "starting" state.
No firewall.
Neither by Business nor my Personal account is syncing.
p.s. My Dropbox log is complaining about a caches:
