    You can never ever say its 100% safe - simply because you'd be using a Beta OS and also a Beta version of Dropbox. However, it should work well, but, be cautious of the fact it is beta at all levels. 

     

    I know previously at last minute notice Apple have changed how stuff worked in beta versions meaning stuff which used to work no longer did when updated to the next release so thats also something to be aware of.

Hi afsd, I hope you don’t mind me jumping in. 

 

I totally understand where you’re coming from. 

 

As Megan mentioned above, the general rollout for full support on macOS 12.5 and higher will start in November. There’s not an exact timeline we can provide at the moment though, I’m afraid.

This should have been a top priority to solve and release — I’ve already been forced due for this to change to Microsoft solutions while collaborating with clients, because they gave up on you Dropbox…

At least this will solve my issue, but this is really unprofessional to yet again great Mac users to badly.

One last question, will it work on macOS Ventura?

    The changes in Ventura should not affect dropbox as far as i know. The major change Dropbox is working on is moving to the new cloud storage container.

    So... November came but i still see no change.

    Anyone else noticed any improved dropbox behaviour in handling online-only files?
