Dropbox doesnt support aliases. So the files itself would need to be saved inside of the Dropbox folder directly. If GnuCash isn't able to see/open the new folder locations the developer needs to update it to the latest API that works with this.
I am a novice and not a techie. My GnuCash data file is saved in a shared Dropbox folder. GnuCash cannot open it as it does not see the Dropbox folder. When I copy/paste the file, using Finder, from Dropbox folder to a local folder physically on my Sonoma MacOS Mac Mini then I can open it. My wife can see the Dropbox folder when she clicks the “Save As” button in GnuCash on her MacBook using an older MacOS. Perhaps GnuCash needs to update something (API?) to work in Sonoma MacOS, so upon clicking “Open” or “Save As” button the user can see the Dropbox.
