After updating to MacOS High Sierra 10.13, my dropbox on my Macbook Air start not syncing. Then I tried to uninstall and then install the dropbox again. However, when i press the dropbox icon after installation, it doesn't work at all and nothing happened. I tried the above procedures for few times and still nothing come out though I successfully install it. The dropbox even not showing on the menu bar or in finder box.
Any suggestions?
It seems there were some solutions that worked but it wasn't clear from the posts which did and did not. I was able to get mine to work again. It was as simple as downloading and installing the app again. I did not have to remove my folders or the old app. It updated the app and immediately after the update was complete, my files began to sync again. I hope this solution is more helpful. Here is a link to the install.

Hi there,
I have the problem that my dropbox is still downloading all documents, but doesn't upload any. We use dropbox for business in our company and actually I'm the only one, who has this problem (iMac 27" late 2012, High Sierra 10.13.3). On my MacBook (Sierra, not High Sierra) it works fine.
I tried everything, which was mentioned in this thread, but I got an error with your solution. I have two Dropbox Accounts (private and business) on the mac, there are name "Dropbox (Private)" and "Dropbox (SSE)". When I use the commands you wrote, I get errors "no file in that directory". When I change the path as mentioned in the screenshot attached (in German), I get an syntax error in the terminal: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
I would be very glad, if there is a solution for this. At the moment I have 300 files, which are in the queue for uploading and this is very disturbing for our business and especially for me. Thanks a lot in advance!
