Dropbox Folder Location in Mac OS Ventura
Unavoidably, with the revised version of Dropbox under Ventura OS, my Dropbox folder was moved as predicted.
After the installation, without giving it much thought, I moved the Dropbox folder (via ...

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Deek, thanks for reaching out to our Community.
Before we answer your questions, would you mind giving us some more info, so we can make sure that we provide all the correct info on our end?
Which version of the Dropbox app do you currently have installed and what's the sync status of the app at the moment?
You can hover over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar for this info.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Hannah,
My Dropbox version is 169.4.5684
The sync status is "up to date" (and I checked that this is indeed the case, and it is).
Cheers

Hi Deek, could you attach a screenshot showing Dropbox in Finder, while hiding any personal info, to fully understand what is occurring.
Regarding AirDrop, is it possible that you've enabled the Dropbox Backup feature? The last section of this article might help out.
Jay, I'm new to this community but have used Dropbox for years. I've got a similar issue that I need help with. I had an iMac 27 running Catalina (?) I think and just got a Mac Mini running Ventura. I've just realized on this new mac mini that Dropbox still has the folder (which I used to run dropbox out of) in Finder and I could use between different computers and work on docs etc. IOW, it was like a cloud so to speak. I could work on a doc, put it in there, and on my office computer it would be there to continue working on. But now, it's like a regular folder and if I put anything in it on the Ventura machine it doesn't go on Dropbox to be seen by any other machine... but now the dropbox in the location area is the one that seems to go to the Dropbox cloud and can be seen with other computers. My question: how to I now sync the dropbox folder with the dropbox location so they have the same docs so that any I put in the folder will now actually be in the Dropbox cloud? I don't know how many docs I put in the folder before I realized Dropbox changed. If I now have to use the dropbox in the location area like I used to use the dropbox folder, that's fine. But how do I sync the too so any docs I inadvertently put in the folder can now be on the Dropbox cloud? Thanks for your help and I hope that I'm clear on it.
