Take Dropbox out of Mac Library
The Dropbox upgrade moved the dropbox files to my ~/Library/CloudStorage/ --- but I can't save any files to that folder.

Sure seems like it, yes. This makes Dropbox completely useless, and means I will not be renewing my subscription.

Dropbox StaffHi all, I just wanted to mention that the issue with the drop-downs in the Help Center article is fixed now.
For anyone affected, could you perform an advanced reinstall and let us know you're still experiencing any issues?
Thanks so much!
This is WONDERFUL news. It seems like I can actually save things to my dropbox again!

Glad to hear it's working for you again ShanaC - thanks for update too!
See you around the Community and take care!
This is no longer a solution; Dropbox is asking me to start the Dropbox 8 installation again: see https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/Take-Dropbox-out-of-Mac-Library/m-p/642915/highlight/true#M47834 for the full description, on page 4 of the conversation.
Many Thanks.
With the text in the drop down I was finally able to reinstall dropbox on my MAC.
The process with the strings in the Terminal app was the key point.Was the aim to reinstall an earlier version?
no,
no matter which DB version, it was a rights problem on the MAC in my MAC user registration.
Yes!! Walter your solution is brilliant. Andrew Parker did you try the advanced install option?
I still cannot backup Documents, Downloads and Desktop however.Is there a sudo workaround for those too? Thanks so much!
Hi Michael, no I haven't! Where can I find this?
Follow the instructions in the link. It takes a while, and you might have to re-sync your dropbox, but it works.
