Thanks for taking the time to post here today, capellifabio.
Indeed, as part of the Dropbox for macOS update, the Dropbox folder must be located in ~/Library/CloudStorage
There's no way around this at this time, as this is an update that will need to happen sooner or later, but we appreciate your feedback about this.
You can take a look at some more info on what to expect with the update and any possible limitations here.
Let us know if you have any questions.

Dropbox Community ModeratorI understand where you're coming from, capellifabio.
Most issues such as this can be resolved when upgrading to the most recent version of macOS, if that's something that you could possibly do at some point.
I will make sure to let our team know of your situation, though, and pass along your feedback.
As for you, markus_4x4, you mentioned that the app won't start; are you getting some kind of startup error?
If you hover over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar, what's the sync status and version of the app?
Hey @Hannah unfortunately even if I upgrade both my systems, the path of the files will still be different. Which most-likely will cause an error and I'll have to re-link all the projects. I work in audio-post production and all the projects are connected to each other and really on files that are in a specific location with a set path.
