All,
I believe my issue has been resolved. I heard from Isaac from Dropbox support:
"The development team has released a new beta version of the Dropbox desktop application that may resolve the issue you are experiencing.
If you would like, you can download this version of the Dropbox desktop application from the following link:
https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?build=71.3.105&plat=mac&type=full
If this resolves the issue, you should be able to continue using this version as it will update automatically to the next available build going forward."I installed this version and set everything up again. I've been using it sparingly for the last few days and have not had any issues.
Good Luck.
Seems like GFP and I are trying to accomplish the same thing, but are having the same issue. I find it hard to believe it's not some kind of setting and/or permissioning issue.

GFP: I've just reached out via your Dropbox email address with some questions for you so we can have a more in-depth look into this with all of our tools at our disposal. Take a look at your inbox (ticket ID: 9151411) and we'll take it from there.
Chris_J: Thanks for trying to assist on this one - much appreciated.
Have a lovely weekend!
hello, I have same issue. 2 user accounts and when I try to launch on the second one I have same error message :
"Couldn't start Dropbox. This is usually because of a permissions error. Storing your home folder on a network share can also cause an error."
Should I open a case too ? I already tried to uninstall, reinstall etc etc.
Thank you

Hello razorback
Thanks for reaching out here. Try to look at this article https://help.dropbox.com/syncing-uploads/stuck-syncing especially note where it says permissions errors, Click on the OS that you are using, then follow the suggestion. Also look under Permissions denied Section
Good luck
