Wish to move Dropbox Folder Location to ~library/cloudstorage in macOS 13.2

HI One and All,  

Was running beta version for MacOS 13 - all good on multiple MacOS installs except one.  Always syncing never completing even after numerous reboots etc.   Dropbox Support kindly assisted me with removing beta and installing latest manually.

However after that process my Dropbox Location reverted from ~library/cloudstorage to the old HomeUsername/ Dropbox location.
I am supposedly running the correct Dropbox version for MacOS 13.

Support has once again helped with a link to download DropboxInstaller.dmg and it installed but without a single dialogue or popup .... also strange I thought.

 

Still, my Dropbox location is not where it should be:  ~library/ Cloudstorage/ Dropbox 
All is running well but, it should be in the correct location, don't you think?

I'm running MacOS13.2 with Dropbox v166.4.2920.  
On Dropbox.com, EarlyReleases in Setting is OFF.
on the iMac Dropbox has Full Disk Access & Accessibility.

Machine has been Restarted following most recent installation.

Everything is Up To Date, files and Dropbox Backup for various attached drives.

I would like to ensure Dropbox is installed where it should be but am unable to select the location "~Library/ CloudStorage".

Any thought please? And thanks in advance!

Go to Finder / Settings / Sidebar, and make under Locations that "Cloud Storage" is checked.

Hi @Greensandz, how are you today? 

 

That should be the path of your user Dropbox content, in your Finder provided you're using Dropbox for macOS.

 

You can always locate your Dropbox icon on your menu bar, next to your WiFi and click the icon. That should give you a pop-up window, with a little Dropbox folder on the top of the window. If you click on it, you should be re-directed to your Dropbox folder locally. 

 

Keep me updated!
