What happens if I don't update to the new Dropbox for MacOS?
I have Dropbox on my M1 MacMini, M1 Macbook Air, old 2015 MacBook Air (all three on Monterey 12.6.3) as well as my iPad Pro and iPhone 13. On the computers, my DropBox folder is in users/{myname}/Dro...
By default, new files added to the account from the site or another device would sync as online-only on your machine, but you can still mark them as available offline.
Files will still sync as normal, and yes, you'd need to change your aliases if any apps of programs need to locate the Dropbox folder.
Hi,
We have a business account, and the Mac I use has a 10tb external drive connected to Dropbox. That data obviously canât be moved to ~/Library/CloudStorage: there simply isnât enough room.
Are your saying that after the update (when will that happen?) any change I make on the external drive will no longer be synced?
Thatâs a non starter for us. Itâs the whole reason we pay for a Dropbox Business account, to keep our stuff in sync. I have to have my data both local and in the cloud and in sync.
And I donât want stuff only in the cloud. If I did Iâd be using a much cheaper cloud provider. The benefit of DropBox is the sync of ALL our data, where I need it.
I suggest you escalate this, and force Apple to change course. This change is completely ridiculous.

I think the problem is not with Apple. No cloud storage company other than Dropbox that I could find is having this problem or imposing a change on their users as a result of anything Apple has done.
