Dropbox StaffLet us know how it goes dropturtle
hi there,
some of the terminal commands did not work because the files or folders where stored somewhere else (by dropbox not by me) on my computer.
the new installation worked, but again the standard dropbox folder is somewhere else now and the old one is still there.
that is some kind of chaos caused by dropbox!
the path before was:
~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox
the new path now is:
~/Dropbox
but i remember, that some update in the past moved everything to:
~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/
a somewhat frustrating experience. maybe its time to wave dropbox goodbye...
best wishes and thanks for your help! kai
... so which is the correct default path to the dropbox folder now?
can i delete one of them??? thanks. kai

Hey dropturtle, which of the two Dropbox folders is the one that is actually syncing your files?
If you add a test file to each of them, which one syncs the file to your Dropbox online?
dear hannah,
thanks for asking.
the new one. installed with the latest installation.
i am just asking, because i am confused why dropbox changes the location and then complains that the dropbox folder is not in its place.
of course i never touched it...
