    MacOS version (MBP Intel 2020) as well as the previous version, stuck in syncing files. It says it's syncing but the number of files is not decreasing.

     

    If you make any change in local or in cloud is not synced in the other side.

    I tried to upgrade three Macs today - an Intel Mac Pro, an Intel MacBook Pro and and M1 Max MacBook Pro.

    I tried using both the universal and standalone Betas.

     

    Before upgrading, I backed up all my local Dropbox files and then completely removed Dropbox and all related files from each computer, like starting fresh on each one.

     

    The interesting part:

    - On both the Intel machines, Dropbox automatically created a Dropbox folder in the new "CloudStorage" location, proceeded to download files as "online only" with cloud symbols next to them and had to be forced to download the actual files by selecting "make available offline" or some such.

    - On the M1 Max machine, I tried several times but it would only ever install the "old-style" Dropbox, always placing the folder under my User account and then each file having the circular blue or green dots to show syncing or downloaded.

     

    Didn't trust the results so rolled each machine back to Mac OS 12.2 and the latest Stable Dropbox release.

      Hi pollycat ,

       

      I am on OS12.3 and an Intel machine. I installed the beta several days ago (under OS 12.2.1) and OS 12.3 last night. So far,  everything is working (after all the previously described issues to even get to start synching). I think you are safe to install DB on the Intel machines. I have no idea what to tell you on the M1 one. Given DB's stance on Apple silicon, so far, I'm certainly glad I still have an Intel machine!
