Move DropBox out of Library in OSX Ventura?

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 that recently became problematic regarding Adobe Bridge + new DropBox folder location. The latest version of Dropbox is now in the Library folder, which is invisible to the Folder tab in Bridge:
Users/Michael/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox
 
In Adobe Bridge, the Folder tab with twirl-down is the most helpful feature in my opinion, and I’m disappointed this is now not possible because Bridge cannot see any DropBox files in Library.
 
Is there a way around this? Or is it possible to move the DropBox folder someplace where Bridge can see it (not in Library?). Thank you!

Thank you, Clare, I was just about to point out that OneDrive seems to have no problem using an external drive for your "always available offline" files despite using the CloudStorage folder as the sync root. That article explains all the symlink trickery. I wonder if that can be duplicated ad hoc for DB. I might try it.
