@tjanderson I was running 145.2.3154 before I tried the reinstall. Dropbox folder was located in my user folder but I also had 'Local' enabled on this Mac so there was no online-only syncing.
@JWL_Photo I made sure to have "Early Release" enabled.
I searched in Finder and noticed that the "CloudStorage" folder was missing in ~/Library on this Mac Mini.
I tested a demo install of OneDrive (they also transitioned to the "CloudStorage" folder). At installation I was given a similar option to install in my user folder which left me completely confused. Proceeded with installation to find that it had in fact created the "CloudStorage" folder in ~/Library and a symbolic link (alias) was placed in my user folder.
Tried this Dropbox build again (Universal & Offline) to see if anything had changed with the newly created "CloudStorage" folder but it still behaves the same.

I unlinked and deleted all references to Dropbox. I have "Early Releases" enabled. I re-installed the universal build.
It's still using Build 144.3.4464, and it has not created any files under ~/Library/CloudStorage.
Is this weird?

Hopefully someone from Dropbox is monitoring this and can weigh in. That is certainly not the expected behavior. clientreleases ? Anyone?
