MacOS Dropbox folder location change and free disk space discrepancy
Apparently Apple started requiring File Providers like Dropbox to move their folders to ~user/library/cloudstorage, leaving only a folder alias at the original location. This caused problems in the b...
Thanks for your reply, Hannah. I knew about the storage provider requirements from Apple. I was just surprised that a new installation of dropbox on a new computer placed the default dropbox folder directly in the users folder and not in library/cloudstorage. Looking at the dropbox preferences on this new installation, it looks as though it has reverted to the dropbox system before Apple changed the requirements. I'm changing this now. And you were right. The files were set to online only, despite my thinking that it was set to be available online. I'm changing this, too. After all this is completed, I'll let you know about how the two Finder utilities report the free disk space.
I just realized that it also installs to the home dir without creating the symlink to `cloudstorage` like the previous version. Did you find the answer yet?
