    You can never ever say its 100% safe - simply because you'd be using a Beta OS and also a Beta version of Dropbox. However, it should work well, but, be cautious of the fact it is beta at all levels. 

     

    I know previously at last minute notice Apple have changed how stuff worked in beta versions meaning stuff which used to work no longer did when updated to the next release so thats also something to be aware of.

Have been trying out Google drive under macOS 12.3, and can confirm this works "correctly", i.e., how dropbox worked before (can also report dropbox is still broken on v147.4.4800)

Yes It works fine, but with a major difference that it isn't possible to use the finder (spotlight) to search for files

    I just got a new MacBook that came with 12.4 preinstalled. Dropbox is completely unusable like this and my workflow is at an absolute standstill.

    I really don't know what to do. PLEASE help us, dropbox!

    Seriously?!?!??!? I never thought that Dropbox would have literally NOTHING to say about 12.3+ support to this day. No beta no nothing. We are extremely close to 90 days after the release of 12.3 and will not be able to prevent users from updating. What’s the deal?!

    We pay tens of thousands of dollars a year for this service. We love it as it is but **bleep** is gonna hit fan real soon. We just need transparency in what is going on!
