To add to the woes.
I have 4 machines all syncing Dropbox. 1 has OneDrive as well that has been the discussion below.
This machine stores a local/offline full copy of all DropBox and OneDrive data.
OneDrive has done a flawless job of syncing and storing a full copy of the drive to the machine.
DropBox has had the issues already mentioned and now I am at the stage of rebuilding the full offline DropBox to the machine. Itâs been quite a tedious process and far from efficient.

Itâs a bit of a mess and has consumed a lot of time.
Iâm still not there and this has taken several days of my life I wonât get back.
I am more astonished that Microsoft has their app working very well on an Apple platform and DropBox hasnât.

Any Update on this topic?...
I checked out MountainDuck using my external Storage and it works fine, it even has the feature to create share-links from the right-click menu. Looks like a very good alternative to the official dropbox client.
Still no update-notification to the latest version for me though
