Dropbox on Mac not starting after recent upgrade

Hello everyone!

I am using Mac OS Monterey 12.6.2

I received a Dropbox prompted upgrade recently, which shifted the Dropbox folder to Cloud storage. It took few hours to sync files and worked okay. From this morning, Dropbox app is not opening. 

 

The error message says - (Screenshot attached) Couldn't start Dropbox. This may be a temporary error. Please restart Dropbox. For more information, click the help button. If the issue persists, please contact Dropbox support with the following info for help (This link opens a text file with the error code pasted below).

 

If anyone knows the solution, please help. I tried installing an old stable build, tried the most recent build, did not work. 

Also, the Dropbox folder although located in the "Cloud Storage" folder, does not show up on "Locations" anymore - which it did for the last 2-3 days after the upgrade.

 

Sincerely,

Sejuti
