Having the same issue. Dropbox non-functional on MacOS Tahoe 26.1. Dropbox is about to lose a ton of users. 

Uninstalling and re-installing Dropbox doesn't work. Issue remains.

Hey koekoe, let's jump right into this!

Just to make sure I'm aligned with you, when you say that the app doesn't start do you mean that it remains unresponsive when you click the little Dropbox icon on your menu bar? If you get any errors feel free to let me know. 

Can you also hover your mouse over the icon, and let me know the version of the app that you're currently using?

If you haven't tried already, can you perform an advanced reinstall and let me know if the behavior remains the same? 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
