Problems created by new Dropbox app
I was able to resolve some of the issues in my last post, but I still have three significant problems, which I describe below.

Hey Asjadsfjur, thanks for reaching out to our Community.
If all the files in your Dropbox folder before the update, were synced and available in your account online, they will also be available in the new location of the Dropbox folder.
You can see more info about the sync icons on your files here.
After the update, all new files added by other computers, will sync as online-only by default.
This and other info about the expected changes that come with Dropbox for macOS (which will answer your questions), can be found here.
Let me know if you have any questions.
"Is there any reason that I couldn't create a new folder at the very top level of Dropbox, move everything else i have in dropbox to that folder, and then set that folder to always keep offline copies"
I've been wondering the same thing. I just verified that all my folders are currently marked as available offline, so it that idea works, it would take care of my desktop/laptop issues (and hopefully not cause any issues with the mobile devices).
I'm not sure I follow your suggestion. Are you saying do this in the DropBox folder on your local SSD? The problem is that our local SSD's are too small to hold all the files that our external drives currently hold.
Sadly, this isn't a proposed solution to the external drive issue, this is proposed solution to the problem of Dropbox not keeping local copies of all files by default. The problem with Dropbox not supporting external discs is an entirely different issue.
Yes, external drives is definitely a different issue and it makes no sense. Hope things get escalated and resolved or you can find an adequate solution.
