Dropbox support for macOS 12.3
So I'm referring to https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/macos-12-monterey-support
Does this mean it will be 100% safe to upgrade to macOS 12.3 as long as I keep Smart sync to Loc...

You can never ever say its 100% safe - simply because you'd be using a Beta OS and also a Beta version of Dropbox. However, it should work well, but, be cautious of the fact it is beta at all levels.
I know previously at last minute notice Apple have changed how stuff worked in beta versions meaning stuff which used to work no longer did when updated to the next release so thats also something to be aware of.

Hi all - thanks for reaching out.
I just wanted to mention that we’re actively working on full support for macOS 12.3
In the meantime, you’ll still be able to open Dropbox files by double-clicking them in Finder.
To make an online-only file available to open in third-party applications, use the following steps :
1. From Finder, Right-click(or control-click) the file you wish to open.
2. Select “Make available offline”
You should now be able to open your files without issue.
You can find more details in the dedicated Help Center article.
I hope this helps!
