installing Dropbox on ubuntu breaks nautilus ("Files")

Hi,

 

I installed ubuntu 22.04 yesterday and was hoping to install Dropbox to sync my files to the new machine. I installed Dropbox by downloading the .deb file from https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux

 

It installed without issues, but now if I try to open "Files" (nautilus), it crashes immediately. Running nautilus from the command line reveals some error messages, but it's unclear how to resolve the issue:

 

(nautilus-dropbox)

I've tried searching around a bit for a resolution, with no luck. I've tried reinstalling nautilus, removing dropbox, reinstalling dropbox, trying nautilus-dropbox instead, but I still can't open "Files" now. The only solution I've seen other people mention is a complete reinstall of the OS, which I'm hoping to avoid.

 

If anyone has guidance please let me know!
