Dropbox support for MacOS 12.3 - can we finally upgrade?

Hi, I cannot find anywhere anyone saying that Dropbox properly supports MacOS 12.3, even though it was released weeks ago and has now been superseded by 12.3.1 with zero-day fixes.  I can find discus...

Was this ever resolved? If not, is there a timeline? The last I heard was Q4. Will it work with Ventura?

    I have an iMac running Monterey 12.6. It is a 2019 model with an Intel i9 chip, 32 gb ram and a 2tb ssd drive. For a few months I was plagued by beachballing, to the point of the machine being virtually unusable. I had multiple online support sessions with Apple, none of which resolved the issue. I prevented creative cloud and dropbox from opening at login. No joy. I finally got them to refer me to a local, Apple approved, Mac service centre. Before I brought the machine in we chatted and I confirmed everything that was happening. Then suddenly the machine began behaving as if nothing had ever been wrong. It has been on its best behaviour for the past 3 weeks - so I have not yet been in to see the pros. I still don't allow creative cloud to start up upon login, but dropbox has been and there hasn't been any issue. Even Acrobat Pro has been functional. I can't explain it. The good behaviour did not start immediately when I went to 12.6, but about a week later.

      Is there any news on this? This feature is a deal-breaker for the usage of smart-sync on MacOS and will turn many users to other services with more attractive pricing.

        Also very much wondering what the deal is here. It's now 2023 and almost a full year since 12.3 developer beta came out (and almost 9 months since the public release) and we still do not have definitive solution from Dropbox.

         

        Should I just start looking for a new storage provider or is maybe Dropbox going to stop taking their Mac users for granted this year? Everyone's guess is as good as mine.

         

        Dropbox please do better.
