I am willing go as far as uninstall/reinstall dropbox or reinstall MacOS if a fresh install of Dropbox will give me the option to select a dropbox folder manually during install and dropbox tells me that this will be supported going forward. I notice that LAN sync no longer works when using cloud storage which is an extremely useful feature for the number of files I have.
