Finder unable to locate Dropbox folder after update to v159.4.5870. MacOS Ventura

Prior to updating to v159.4.5870, my local Dropbox folder was in /Users/<username>/Dropbox; after updating, the folder was either moved or deleted...and can no longer be found.

    Apple now requires the Dropbox folder to be located in your Library/CloudStorage folder.

      Okay. I don't have a Library/CloudStorage folder. The folder does not exist.

      I do not have a Library/CloudStorage folder. That folder does not exist on my Mac.

        Could it be hidden? I'm not a Mac user so I can't really help further. I can only point you to the FAQ that I posted previously.

        Take a look in your own Library folder, not the system one.  Example: /Users/xyz/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox
