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.

Ok, so I am thinking of updating my Mac. Should I go with the supported official version or a beta? If I go with a beta, can I expect to get one that will suffice? I have heard betas do not all roll out to all beta customers at the same time.

Seems a bit of a lottery with Dropbox saying nothing about roll out policy to different account types. I am on personal and even after starting on betas the fileproviderd/Cloudstorage change did not happen automatically. I hade to force it by completely uninstalling and starting from scratch. This has not worked for some people. Other people it has happened automatically and they are taken by surprise and don't know what has happened.
