We currently have a private beta, which will be more widely available in October. If youâre interested in joining, you can turn on early releases.

No, Dropbox is not being forced to do this by Apple, it is a decision on their part. Microsoft's OneDrive operated on the same deprecated kernel extension as Dropbox did, but have found a way to allow the sync folder to live on an external drive, so this is clearly Dropbox's decision.
That is interesting. I always thought Dropbox was better than OneDrive on Mac (why I pay for it although I have OneDrive through Office 365), but MS is clearly more responsive here.
Only worry is that that MS solution seems like a kind of hack, and who knows if it will continue to work? Apple could swat it down.
