It sounds like the issue may be due to the feature still being in beta, which can cause compatibility issues. For now, Dropbox only supports certain types of external drives for File Provider mode on macOS, and it might not work perfectly with AFPS-encrypted drives.

Is this just your guess or do you have specific info about which "certain types" of external drives are or aren't supported? I'd really like someone from Dropbox to explain what's required for external drives to work.
I am already enrolled in Dropbox Early Access, so that isn't it.
