What is the correct way of reporting bugs?
I am using this build on my M1 MacBook Air and my Dropbox folder has been migrated to ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox
All is working OK (after reconfiguring third party apps that sync with Dropbox, to use the new location).
One of these apps is Moneydance which writes transaction details to a syncstore folder on Dropbox.
I have set the folder containing the Moneydance files to "Make available offline" but I keep finding files inside it are online only with a cloud+arrow icon.

Getting message "Couldn't start Dropbox" after reboot.
Message says "Contact Dropbox Support with the following info for help", then a link which gives this in a Textedit file:

After writing the previous post, I launched Dropbox form the apps folder, and it started OK. I had tried this before posting but it hadn't worked.
