Recent Dropbox - Mac 12.3 Monterey support
The official support page relating to Mac OS Monterey 12.3 Dropbox compatibility is 2 months old now, and Apple just released (April 2022) first beta version of 12.4 and patched 12.3 with 12.3.1, but...
- 2 years agoHi everyone,We wanted to provide an update on availability of full support for macOS 12.5 and higher to more customers. We’re continuing to expand our rollout through May 2023, and anyone interested in receiving this updated experience earlier can join our beta now.If you haven’t already received the update, you can expect it between now and the end of May 2023. We’re also working directly with a small subset of customers with complex configurations to ensure their migration is as seamless as possible.Here’s how you can join our beta:
- Basic, Plus, Professional, and Family plan customers: Turn on early releases and keep an eye out for a notification to opt-in
- Standard, Advanced, Enterprise, and Education customers: Contact your Account Team or Customer Support for more information
The updated experience is more integrated with macOS and comes with some changes that are consistent with macOS requirements. For more information, please visit our Help Center.Thank you.

Michael,
Try opening an InDesign file (that has un-synced links). Prior to 12.3 it smart sync would load the file and then the file would open after syncing automatically...in 12.3 and beyond nothing happens until you manually sync all the files.

I don't have in design but I can open online only files with third party apps without downloading them.
The solution to the 12.3 problem is to use the Apple fileprovider extension instead of the deprecated Dropbox one, which requires the CloudStorage location..... all as already done by OneDrive.
