New Problem : Dropbox (mac) is asking me to install Dropbox 8 again, which it says (again) will change the location of the Dropbox folder.  I installed Dropbox 8 in early November, and it's been working just fine with the folder in a better place, as per the instructions in the advanced install.

 

I started this topic;  I have already been through this once.  Dropbox software says it's v162.4.5419.   

 

I can't seem to make this notification go away; I will not go through this installation in my Library again, and then moving it again.

 

 

How can I make this recognize it's v.8?
