Getting an error that I need to enable the Dropbox app on macOS Tahoe 26.1

Application Affected
Dropbox
Device
MacMini M1
Operating System/Browser (if using the web)
MacOS Tahoe 26.1
Dropbox App Version (if using the app)

Question or Issue
I have installed Dropbox and given it full disk access and accessibility access, restarted, but when I click to the Dropbox folder, I see the message, "Dropbox" is not enabled. To access "Dropbox" click Enable. 

Click Enable where? How do I enable Dropbox?

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention, designer69.

    Would you mind sending us a screenshot of this message and where it appears for you?

    Also, what do you see when you hover over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar?

    Thanks in advance!
