After today's upgrade (30 Nov 22), I cannot locate my Dropbox folder
After today's update, i cannot locate the Dropbox folder on my Mac Powerbook running OS 12.6 Monterey. The alias folder is still there on my Dock (but now withuot the Dropbox logo on it) and there is a Dropbox folder,. but now as an alias, in my user folder. But I cannot find where it is actually situated. The update message said it would it in the Library of my user folder: there is no library in my user folder. The message also referred to Cloud Storage, but there is no folder for that anywhere, nor any other reference to it - I do not use Apple iCloud. Any ideas?
Using Go and searching for Users/myname/Library has revealed the Library folder. But there does not seem to be a way of getting it to show in the usual way like other folders.
Anyway - sorted!!

Hey JCmk, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you check if you have a small Dropbox icon in your menu bar?
If so, please hover over it and let us know exactly which version of the app you're using and what the sync status is.
Have you also checked ~/Library/CloudStorage to see if you can locate your Dropbox folder there?
Keep me posted.
