macOS Monterey 12 - Couldnt Start Dropbox

Same here - it FINALLY WORKED omg FFS
1. I downloaded the installer from a third-party source (https://www.computerbild.de/download/Dropbox-Mac-5857819.html) and NOT FROM DROPBOX WEBSITES - official and beta Dropbox installers are not working so far with Monterey, because I think Apple thinks Dropbox is not a trustworthy developer. And worse, it doesn't even give you the choice to clear Dropbox in security preferences (as it does usually), even after Batchmoding the installers in Terminal or with 3-party apps.
2. Anyway, then I followed Jay protocol (like I presumed in the first place, it's a Sudo permission issue...), to unlock Dropbox
3. FINALLY Dropbox.app in Security > Files & Folders was UNCHECKED as a result, and I could then CHECK it like you guys said
4. I followed Jay protocol again, just to make sure Sudo permissions were still in the green for these folders
5. I rebooted (I might have rebooted after 2. though, can't remember exactly)
5. It works!
You guys should really sort this out, millions of users will be in this situation as they upgrade to Monterey.
Cheers.
shinbeth,
I find that when Dropbox is running that any new file Syncs are stalled. When I restart/reboot Mac then Dropbox opens and the backlogged sync files are then executed. However, any new syncing operations that follow are again stalled until another reboot/restart of Mac. I followed Jay protocols: (1) Security & Privacy checks and (2) Terminal "sudo" but I did not do an Advanced Install (which is posted under "Cant' start Dropbox in Monterey". Quirky.
