Permissions Error upon Upgrade to Mac Monterey
I just updated to Mac OS Monterey on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2015) and now Dropbox doesn't work anymore. Specifically, I get an error message saying that Dropbox can't start because, "This is usually because of a permissions error." I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I tried the advanced uninstall, I tried fixing permissions in the Dropbox app, and I tried ensuring that my user has the proper "read/write" access and nothing has worked. I would be super grateful to anyone who can help.
Best,

Have you tried to perform an advanced reinstall, by any chance?
If not, please give that a go and let me know how it goes.
Cheers.

I'm running macOS Monterey v12.3.
I have reinstalled dropbox and can see that it is enabled in both the Accessibility and Full Disk Access panels now, but I still get the error message that it cannot start and a link to this error message.Thank you for your continued help!
