Hi everyone,
Just a quick update: we're rolling out a fix today that should resolve this issue. It's in Stable Build 197.4.7629.
As a reminder: the current workaround is to quit/close the Dropbox application and relaunch it.
Thank you!

Same problem here. Dropbox reports "trying to connect to internet" despite no issues with internet connection. Macbook Pro M3. Everything latest version of software. Have had Dropbox automatically start up with the OS for 10 years without problems. Now it creates sync problems since it is not running and I have started to loose file changes. Please roll back to previous app version or solve it quickly please!
