Hey Uhnnohn, thanks for posting to our Community.

 

Can you please let me know your computer's exact OS and version?

 

And also, which version of the Dropbox app do you have installed?

 

You can see that by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar.

 

Once I have this info, I'll be able to assist you further.

 

Thanks!

I'm getting this same behaviour on OS X Ventura 13.1 with Dropbox 164.3.7907

 

Select All folders under selective sync and nothing is downloaded my folders all have the download icons next to them, is this a bug from moving the location under /users/USER/library/cloudstorage/dropbox ?

 

Also this migration didn't delete my old drobox folder under /users/USER/Dropbox - is it safe to just delete that folder?

 

Quite a lot of bugs and I didn't even opt-in to this beta, somehow I'm enrolled? Presumably because I'm on Ventura or something? Bit risky.
