Thanks, parikc! What I want you to try next is an advanced reinstall of your Dropbox app.
Let me know how that goes.

2 months agoIs that the message you get even after the advanced reinstall?

Yes, after an advanced reinstallation.

Hey Vovantro! Since the advanced reinstall didn’t work for you, I’ve gone ahead and logged you a ticket instead.
Please check your email inbox, when you can, and reply back to me.

Проблема исчезла после простого удаления средствами Windows программы Dropbox и повторная её переустановка, без расширенного варианта установки.
Как я понял, каким то образом Windows своими средствами её когда-то не правильно удалил. А удалял я её средствами Windows очень давно, года полтора назад. И удалял после того, как Dropbox вообще перестал у меня запускаться по неизвестной мне причине. Повторная установка её тогда, обычным методом мне никак не помогла. Но методом расширенной установки её мне удалось установить 12 октября. Dropbox видимо заново везде прописался. Но всё равно не мог запуститься и выдавал ошибку. Сегодня же я решил добить проблему повторной расширенной установкой по инструкции.1. Удалил средствами Windows программу Dropbox.
2. Полез в «HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE», но не нашёл в папках «SOFTWARE» и «WOW6432Node» папку «Dropbox».
3. Полез в «%LOCALAPPDATA%» и не нашёл там папку «Dropbox».
4. В остальных шагах инструкции так же не нашёл папку «Dropbox».
5. Запустил DropboxInstaller.exe.
6. Программа запустилась без проблем.
7. Шок! 🙀
PS: Может кому пригодится моя информация.
***Translation:
The problem went away after simply uninstalling Dropbox using Windows and reinstalling it again, without the advanced installation method.
As I understand it, Windows somehow uninstalled it incorrectly. I uninstalled it using Windows a long time ago, about a year and a half ago. I uninstalled it after Dropbox stopped working for some unknown reason. Reinstalling it using the standard method didn't help. But I managed to install it using the advanced installation method on October 12th. Dropbox apparently registered itself again. But it still wouldn't start and returned an error. Today, I decided to fix the problem by reinstalling it using the advanced installation method, following the instructions.
- Uninstalled Dropbox using Windows.
- I looked in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" but couldn't find the "Dropbox" folder in the "SOFTWARE" and "WOW6432Node" folders.
- I looked in "%LOCALAPPDATA%" and didn't find the "Dropbox" folder.
- I also didn't find the "Dropbox" folder in the other steps of the instructions.
- I ran DropboxInstaller.exe.
- The program launched without a hitch.
- Shock! 🙀
PS: Maybe someone will find my information useful.
