I'm sorry to hear about the sync issues you're facing with Dropbox on Mac OS X after migrating to Library/Cloud Storage. It seems like you've encountered a few challenges with the sync process. Here are some steps you can try to address these problems:
Selective Sync: To ensure that only specific folders are always available offline, you can use the Selective Sync feature in Dropbox. To do this, right-click on the Dropbox icon in your system tray, go to Preferences > Sync, and then click on "Choose folders." Select the folders you want to keep offline, and unselect the ones you want to be online-only.
Upgrade Dropbox: You've mentioned that upgrading to version 14.0 Sonoma seemed to help. Ensure that you're using the latest version of Dropbox, as updates often contain bug fixes and performance improvements. Check for updates regularly.
Check Symlinks: Dropbox may handle symlinks differently. Ensure that symlinks you've created are correctly pointing to the intended locations. Symlinks can sometimes cause attitude conflicts if they're not set up correctly.
Conflicts: Conflicts can occur when a file is edited or changed simultaneously on multiple devices. Review the conflicted files and choose the version you want to keep. Dropbox appends "conflicted copy" to the file name to help distinguish it.
