I am having the same issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling on MacOS 12.6 but now I can't even launch the driver to reinstall the application.

I put the Dropbox application in the bin, emptied the bin, restarted my Mac, turned off my wifi and plugged in to the internet via ethernet cable instead. I then downloaded the Dropbox for desktop app again using Safari (I had used Firefox previously - have no idea if that's relevant or not!!) and it SEEMS to now be working... the icon appears in the top menu bar and I was able to go in and deselect folders that I didn't want to sync with my machine as I used to. When I'd tried downloading the app previously, it seemed to download then I had the same problem as you i.e. the driver wouldn't even launch. Doing a fresh download using a different browser and with an arguably more stable internet connection seemed to help in my case (but maybe you've already tried that?!)
