Dropbox for windows crashes after launch
Hello!
I tried reinstalling dropbox, tried advanced reinstalling.
This does not help.
I try load Dropbox 178.4.4811 Offline Installer.x64.exe - not help
Hello!

Try installing an older stable version (Stable Build 178.4.4811 works for me).
Myself and a few others have started having issues with the latest version of Dropbox. You can see a few complaints about this on the latest stable build https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-179-4-4917/td-p/701574.
The issue after this will be that Dropbox eventually will auto-update to the problematic version.

Brandon Nguyen I tried your suggestion and so far it works!!
To avoid auto updating, John582 suggested here to rename two dropboxupdate.exe files to something else: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/How-to-disable-DropBox-Update/m-p/360536/highlight/true#M13647
Now Dropbox is re-indexing my 854.000 files, lets hope that process goes well (of course I hit the famous issue of Dropbox not recognizing the existing folder and its files, it took some fiddling to get it to merge instead of re-downloading everything).
Fingers crossed! Will follow up...
