Hey JoeyCht, Once you click the "Sign in using Google account" button, it should launch your default browser, and you should be able to sing-in using your Google account on the browser. If possible, can you please change your default browser to another browser (say, Google Chrome) in Windows Default apps settings and try again?
If the problem persists, I would suggest to sing-in using email and password. Please note that your Google account password is not your Dropbox account password (unless you have set them the same). If you always used Google sign-in option, it is possible that you do not have a Dropbox password. Please go to Dropbox web - https://www.dropbox.com/account/security and Set a password first. It will send a reset password link to your email, from there you will be able to set a new password. Later you can use your email and password to sign-in on the Desktop app.
