Dropbox will probably not return to ~/Dropbox/ just like iCloud documents are not in ~/iCloud/ but hidden away. You could make a link, I suppose. If you look at Google Drive, it has moved to the "Cloud Folder" too.

 

Also, Selective Sync isn't working because Dropbox waiting too long to implement the APIs that Apple has been telling developers to use for a LONG LONG TIME now.

 

Given that Dropbox took ~18 months to roll out Apple Silicon-native software, it's no surprise they are behind in other areas, but this seems like no one's fault but Dropbox -- who have done nothing to deserve the "benefit of the doubt" when it comes to macOS.

The big difference between iCloud and Dropbox is that iCloud has never had a ~/iCloud/ directory, but Dropbox has always had ~/Dropbox/. I can't speak to Google Drive because I've been a Dropbox user for almost 13 years.
