Hey again, Kai!

 

The Dropbox folder was moved to the CloudStorage location initially, after the update to the Dropbox for macOS on File Provider.

 

You can read more about this change here and here.

 

Is the application now working okay otherwise?

hi hannah,

thanks for explaining.

i must have changed that in the past then?!

i don't really understand the pros and cons of this Dropbox for macOS on File Provider.
but i just won't update then. there seem to be no disadvantages.
i wanted to check for updates in dropbox, but there is no way to do this anymore??

thanks again! kai
