Auto-updates: Everyone who chose "Include me on early releases" on the Settings page
This is an early release feature that is subject to these additional terms.
148.2.1667 has not moved my Dropbox to ~/Library/CloudStorage/
That would be two of us 😉 No idea why I'm on that release.
See if something happens on the next release. It took awhile for mine to switch over.

Are you saying the switch over to ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox happened between updates?
I assumed it would happen immediately as a result of an update.
Thanks
Sorry no i meant wait for an update. It took a couple of updates of the client before mine switched over.
Have you tried uninstalling Dropbox and disconnecting it from your account, then reinstalling the beta/reconnecting? That will generally force the move.
That did actually not work for me. Tried it several times. Then just waited and eventually when one of the betas installed it then moved everything.
This has worked for me in the past:
Thanks both ....will sleep on that!
@JWL Photo Thanks for the detail.
Can I clarify something please..... It sounds like after the reinstall, Dropbox downloaded a new set of your data from the Cloud direct into ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox, leaving the original ~/Dropbox spare and unused. Hence your advice that you could delete ~/Dropbox as part of the preparation.
In other words it did not move the contents of ~/Dropbox to ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox.
Obviously, depending on quantity, a fresh download could take some time compared to moving.
As you say, have a sound backup of all your data in case... 😀
