Hey sfemet, thanks for using Dropbox and posting on our Community!
When it comes to your first concern, there isn't a particular setting you need to look for after the update to the new desktop app.
You can see how to make files or folders available offline or online only in this Help Center article, if needed.
As for your second query, note that your device must be running macOS 12.5 or later to use the new Dropbox for macOS app (the one that moves your Dropbox folder to the ~/Library/CloudStorage folder. However, using macOS 13+ is strongly encouraged.
In regards to your shortcuts, you'll probably need to re-create them after the update to make sure they work fine.
For additional information on this, you can have a look here.
I hope this helps!

Hi Walter,
Thank you for your very clear reply. If brevity is the soul of wit, clarity is the soul of tech support.
I have updated Dropbox on the mini, everything seems to be moved successfully.
I am very grateful.
