Can't install Dropbox on Mac M1 with macOS Monterey

The installer just doesn't start. Digging on console I found this: Apparently is a problem with its signature.   Any help?

    Hi agj60, thanks for posting today.
     
    Could you try downloading and installing the offline installer from this link?
     
    Keep me updated with any progress!

I followed this thread and I am still unable to open dropbox. 

 

Context: 

I recently updated macOS to Monterey 12.2, and I am unable to open dropbox. I tried to reinstall but all suggestions (added the dropbox to have full Disk access with the dropbox version I currently have,  tried to reinstall dropbox with the offline installer via the link you provided and the regular installer but does not open the dmg files/ does not start installation). 

 

I would appreciate any help here.

Hey janniy, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

At this point, could you try an advanced reinstall and let me know how it goes?

    Hi Walter, 

     

    Thanks for your suggestion. I tried to advance reinstall. After following the steps, I got to the point I cannot reinstall Dropbox because for some reason the dmg files do not open (I tried several versions, including the newest offline installer).

     

    Do you have any other suggestions?

     

    Thanks for any help,

    Janni

      Try to explore the .dmg package using finder, running the installer from there

        @agj60 Thanks for the tip.

        I have tried to run the installer using finder. It does not work on my mac at the moment.
