macOS Monterey 12.0.1 - "Dropbox Folder Missing"
The other day, I rebooted my Mac and Dropbox greeted me with the following notification:
"Dropbox Folder Missing.
Your Dropbox folder has been moved or deleted from its original location...

Dropbox StaffHi thecreativeoffices, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Did this occur after a Mac OS update, or any other updates?
Did you enable iCloud or make any other system changes?
This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay,
Thanks for the response.
The most recent system change I made was a few days ago; I swapped out an external hard disk drive that I was using for Time Machine. It was several years old and beginning to fail. Dropbox had nothing to do with that disk. Prior to that, I upgraded to macOS Monterey in early November, and everything was fine with Dropbox afterward.
I can't think of any other major changes...
- JayWas the Dropbox folder itself located on the old external drive, or an internal drive?
In a separate external drive that's still attached and working fine.
(Although even if it wasn't, I don't understand why I can't just re-select the original Dropbox folder and go on my merry way just like I've done lots of times over the years with new computers, new disks, new folder arrangements. It's never stopped me in my tracks at startup before this problem).
