Move DropBox out of Library in OSX Ventura?
In OSX Ventura, is it possible to move the DropBox folder someplace where Adobe Bridge can see it (not in OSX Ventura Library)?
I'm a big Adobe Bridge fan, and I wanted to call out a feature ...
Indeed we are... here.
Wars over control of data, and the users are the things being fished for.
And dropbox will get dropped (by me) as they don't seem willing/able to fight Apple's new concepts at control.
I don’t have another way to collaborate with other designers, so I’m sticking with DropBox. I am very happy with it other than this issue. My MacBook Pro has an 8TB SSD which is enough to hold my 4TB DropBox directory which is often full. I hope that somehow enough users complain to Apple, so they might reverse this new unhelpful policy.
Wow - an 8tb internal SSD.
Guess you can stick with Dropbox. That's great.
A lot of us can't do that.
I agree, a lot of us have invested first of all into Dropbox which costs significantly annually, then into external drives just to find out that we cannot use something we are already using.
Not to mention that, as long long-term Dropbox user, we just see more and more increases in the price even though I am/We are loyal customers for years.
Can we maybe make a group request to Dropbox to fix these issues?
I am definitely starting to look for alternatives, because at the end of the day I cannot let the business and clients feel the technical issues I am facing, just cannot be like Dropbox...

Hi mkozlica, the option to move the Dropbox folder to external drives, or any other location, is no longer supported by macOS.
This, along with other changes, can be found in this article.
