I have the same problem.  Installed Monterey this morning and now can't access DropBox.  I have already tried

  • advanced re-install to no effect.  Still got the same error message as everyone else. 
  • following andreabonoto's suggestions.  I no longer get the error message,  but nothing happens when I click the DB icon in my dock and the icon in the menu bar is still greyed out.  If I click on the menu bar icon, the pop-up shows the squares going around and the word "starting" interminably--it has been doing that since I downloaded Monterey.  The dock icon continues to offer "open" (rather than "quit") as an option.

Any suggestions?  I am tech savvy enough to have followed the instructions for those two attempts, but just barely, so please respond with the "...for Dummies" version.  🙂  Thanks.
