Removed and reinstalled Dropbox for Mac exactly as stipulated in https://help.dropbox.com/nl-nl/installs/advanced-reinstall#reinstallDropboxmac. Closing Dropbox, removing Dropbox, rebooting the Mac and entering the commands in Terminal. Finally downloding and installing Dropbox 224.3.4654. Apple's Activity Monitor now shows Dropbox is using 661,8 MB.
Dropbox-files are still in MyHomefolder/Dropbox where they have been for (at least?) 10 years.
As for the requested status, I only can tell that the Dropbox app in the menubar of the Mac informs me that "All files are up to date" (synced). If you need other/more info, please let me know.
