I am puzzled that for the last month or two some people have been reporting the anticipated relocation of the Dropbox folder to ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox, but it has not happened for many of us, with the same beta builds and macOS version. Dropbox must have a way of rolling out the version that changes the location by account, or some other method.
This change is forced on OneDrive and Dropbox by the deprecation of the third party kernel extensions, announced a long time ago and finally implemented in macOS 12.3. (Apple-confirms-macos-12-3-deprecates-kernel-extensions-used-by-dropbox-and-onedrive )
I have OneDrive as well and that is well established in ~/Library/CloudStorage/Onedrive.
Until this change happens for me, I can't make files be offline in Dropbox (but can with OneDrive).
Anyone have any further insights, or know how to make the change happen?
I share your frustration.
It is my understanding that it is rolling out to Dropbox Basic, Plus and Family but nothing, so far, on the Business side.
More than anything my hope is that Dropbox would be a bit clearer or provide an estimated timeline for the switch on MacOS 12.3+.
Thanks!
In reality the current situation is not too much of a problem for me, but I have two key apps (DEVONthink and Moneydance) that point to Dropbox data and the impact that the location change will have is unclear, so I would like to get it all resolved.
