    New placeholders will no longer have an Online-only tag in Finder. This will not affect the online status of the file.

    This changes the location of Dropbox on Mac OSX 12+ but once my 3rd party apps were made aware of the new location everything worked perfectly.

      Nothing happened or changed here... Did you reinstall?

        I just installed the beta release and it took me through the necessary steps to install it in the new location. I am talking about the Offline Installer (Apple Silicon) version.
