    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.

I think they mix threads with the more or less same issue. I agree with you in relation about your computer is yours, but having a not last-minute updated system is a serious security risk this days.

I'm not sure what version of OS Nunya_Business is using, but I have the same question.

For the moment my macOS is the latest version Sonoma, but Dropbox is v192.4.4605 which hasn't been updated since the new File system (been almost a year now...). Dropbox doesn't update automatically on my computer. It works basically fine, but how long before it stops working?

For the Mac users who have fully updated their Dropbox, I've only heard horror stories of slowness and malfunction, not to mention the list from Dropbox of expected problems for Mac users.

Has any Mac user fully updated and encountered no problems at all? Would appreciate some news on this: as we are not informed, it is impossible to know what's going on 😞
