I've tried the official and latest beta Dropbox installers (https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/bd-p/101003016), nothing works. The .dmg simply won't open. I tried to BatchMod, CodeSign, DeQuarantine them... nothing helps.

 

And Dropbox won't launch in Monterey either. Before you say it, yes, I did close everything before in Processes, allowed Dropbox app in security preferences, as well as Full Disk Access, Files & Folders (which is greyed out in Monterey, but Dropbox can be seen as ticked) and Accessibility (which is also greyed out in Monterey, but Dropbox can be seen as ticked). And Macbook restart.

 

Still nothing works. Won't install. Won't open.

 

Please help. Thanks.
