I should add that I never use Smart Sync. As far as I understand, it is only Smart Sync that requires the use of the new File Provider API. So I would be fine with the old Dx app as long as it works and just won't update the Dx app (while keeping the macos up to date) if that is at all possible without too much nagging from the Dx app.
