    What I want to know is how to go about deleting the images without having to use a 3rd party program. That folder does not show up when you show hidden files and folders.

    Hi John.  Using a Mac too.  I have also noticed that since the upgrade you are talking about, the synchronising of files takes longer.  I am a photographer and when I synchronise a batch of images via Lightroom, I have noticed a slower speed synchronising.

      I haven't noticed that myself but I also haven't been paying attention to that either.

        If I delete an image from the folder in finder in outs it in the Mac trash so its something with the way Lightroom and Dropbox delete files when you delete from Lightroom.
