Move DropBox out of Library in OSX Ventura?
In OSX Ventura, is it possible to move the DropBox folder someplace where Adobe Bridge can see it (not in OSX Ventura Library)?
I'm a big Adobe Bridge fan, and I wanted to call out a feature ...

This is incorrect, it is a Dropbox policy. Every other cloud/sync service is able to work with folders on external drives, including OneDrive, which operated on the same kernal extension that ‘necessitated’ this change from Dropbox. It achieves this by using a hidden folder on the external drive to hold the actual files, while having a symlink in the Library/CloudStorage folder (see ‘Using another volume’ section on this page https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-onedrive-blog/inside-the-new-files-on-demand-experience-on-macos/ba-p/3058922 ) That Dropbox cannot do the same thing has nothing to do with Apple.

2 years agoThank you, Clare, I was just about to point out that OneDrive seems to have no problem using an external drive for your "always available offline" files despite using the CloudStorage folder as the sync root. That article explains all the symlink trickery. I wonder if that can be duplicated ad hoc for DB. I might try it.
