You can 'force' Dropbox Folder to go to a new location.
Go to the Sync tab here https://help.dropbox.com/account-settings/change-preferences#sync and input the new location for the Folder.

Yes, I know, but that is not what I mean. It is supposed that moving to that folder is mandatory for Mojave and next to have the files on demand working in those macOS.
Dropbox currently implements the Finder extension, but not the full features. It is supposed that this version will move the files into that folder in order to enable files on demand (or whatever they are called).
