Performing a manual uninstall and re-installing resulted in Dropbox sort of half-working, but it took a clean OS installation from scratch for it to finally work again, unfortunately.
Based on advice from other users and elsewhere, I've tried a few things:
- Removed all Dropbox-related files that I could locate from my User/Library folder (and restarted)
- Installed the latest Beta release of Dropbox (176.3.5105 Offline Installer for Intel Macs)
- Signed out of my Dropbox account during the Install/Startup phase via Dropbox -> Preferences, and re-logged in when prompted
Dropbox still fails to start, and now I have a "temporary" Dropbox folder in my Finder Window Favorites comprised of a string of characters (in the form: #X##X###-##XX-##X#-#XXX-#XXX##X##X#)
Repeated attempts continue to fail.
I'm still unable to properly launch or use the Dropbox app.
