I've recently updated to the v.167.4.4719 version of Dropbox which now changes the location of where your dropbox is located and also changes the way the icons represent what is downloaded online/off...

It's July 2023 and dropbox is still not syncing automatically on Ventura. I guess I have to look at migrating away from Dropbox, too. My job relies on automatic sync between devices. Having to manually check each time that files are up to date and doing some kind of reset if not acceptable.

Yes, this update is ridiculous. I am getting this same error where if I try to make a file online only, I get an error that it's being used by some application, with no indication of which one. I've quit and restarted Dropbox. I've tried to mark the whole Dropbox folder as online-only (nothing happens). I'm wasting time on something that's meant to be a productivity tool.

Yep, since the last update my Dropbox is useless as it's completely unreliable. Completely random syncing - with some files being available offline, others not, necessitating manually going in and downloading (not that this always works!). I've tried making the entire Dropbox folder available offline (it doesn't do it), and no amount of starting and restarting seems to work. I'm going to be leaving Dropbox for good unfortunately.
