Photo Library not reachable on MacOS after Dropbox sync

I recently synced dropbox for MacOS and now my Photos Library is no longer working. I preferred Dropbox over iCloud for a few reasons, but using the Photos Library on my MacBook is essential for me.

 

The only solution I can think of is to disable Dropbox and return to iCloud so I can have Photo Library functioning properly again. Have any other Mac users found a solution to this problem? 

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hello,

    I Have the same problem, Dropbox moved all the local Mac folders and I can't open the Photos Library. I will uninstall dropbox and maybe leave like that
