Does this fix the Monterey 12.3 - 4 and now 5 syncing problems? If not is there any chance of a fix or should I be switching cloud services? Please just let us know what's going on?

What "syncing problems" are you referring to?

I have the feeling that the problem will never be solved. For our company, time has come to look for alternatives. The smart sync problem of macOS 12.3 still exists. And soon ventura will be released... Nothing concrete has been heard for months. Apparently there is a private beta, referred to here:

«A private beta version is currently available to select users.» but support knows nothing about it.
We can't manually download the linked files for each InDesign or After Effects individually. With 14 TB of data and a clean directory structure for various customers and jobs, that doesn't work. Everyone would lose massive amount of time. If I have to put an external hard drive at every workstation so that all data is local, we don't need Dropbox anymore. I think it's time for VPN and a big NAS - like in the old days.

If you're on "Dropbox Business", the private betas apparently don't work, according to Dropbox support.
I suggest you give OneDrive a go.
