Dropbox for MacOS is now ready
I've got Dropbox installed on an M1 MacBook. After upgrading to Ventura 13.0 it brings up a notification. If I click on "Get started" and go through all the steps in the process it appears to work, b...
I received the notice that a new version of Dropbox for macOS was available. The Dropbox icon in my menu bar has a notification flag. When I open it, I see the notification "Dropbox for macOS is now ready". I click the "Get started" link. I go through the entire process. I even reboot my Mac. After the reboot, the notification flag is still present and the notification is still in the Activity tab of the desktop app.
The email I received about this update had a "Learn more" link. I clicked it and learned this: "Your Dropbox folder will be moved to ~/Library/CloudStorage."
My Dropbox folder is still at "Macintosh HD > Users > paulharder2 > Dropbox".
I suppose I could uninstall Dropbox, delete my entire Dropbox folder, and reinstall it. I'd rather work within the system that Dropbox has designed.
Please advise. Thanks.
I should have mentioned that I'm on macOS Ventura 13.1

Hi PaulHarder2, and thanks for posting about this here.
Can you also clarify for me what’s the current app version of your Dropbox app, as well as its syncing status?
I'm on v164.4.7914 and all files are currently up to date. Since I posted this question, I uninstalled and reinstalled. The Dropbox icon in the Mac's menu bar still has a notification badge and opening it still shows "Dropbox for macOS is now ready". My Dropbox folder is still at the same place in the file system as where it was before the reinstallation.
