You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

I'm unable to rename a file after copying it from another sub-folder on my Mac.
Having this issue over the past several months. Saw another thread where others were having the same issue, but that thread was locked. I copy a file from one subfolder in Dropbox to another subfolde...
This has been an issue for me since Apple changed how cloud services work in Sonoma and moved the Dropbox location to ~/Library/CloudStorage. Never occurred before Sonoma.
Happens for me every now and then. Don't know what triggers it, something to do with frequent connecting/disconnecting to different networks "confuses" the OS is my hunch. I frequently change networks several times a day due to the nature of my work, often switching to tethering, often offline completely.
I do all my work out of Dropbox, and constantly rename files so it's a right pain.
I also have Box & Google Drive in ~Library/CloudStorage and haven't hit the same problem, but I only very occasionally use them.
Only way I've been able to fix it is to reboot, which costs me about five minutes of work each time and frequently isn't possible - I end up having to move files out of dropbox, rename them there, and then move them back in.
Very good to know from this thread I can resolve it by by restarting finder, but that's a workaround not a solution. It's not cost-free, I have ten to twenty tabs open at any given time so have to to setup that workspace again each time.
