Welcome aboard the Community, Riley R.!
You’re correct in that the Dropbox for MacOS on File Provider update will be at some point implemented for all users.
However, I’m afraid we can’t specify when this is going to happen either.
For now, you can continue using the previous version of the Dropbox app without having to update it in the immediate future.
If something changes though, you should be notified that you need to update your Dropbox app to the new version.
I’ll be here, if you need something else.

Thank you, Nancy!
I'm glad to get confirmation that there isn't information I just missed somewhere. I definitely appreciate having the option not to upgrade for now.
I started using Dropbox in 2011 and I've loved it all these years. If I do end up switching to another provider, I'll definitely miss it.
Riley R. Thank you for seeking this information. Like you I have used Dropbox for a long time, practically since it was developed. Frankly if I had know Apple was going to make this move I would not have transferred from a PC to Mac. I must admit that I'm stressed about it.
