Stand...
I signed out of the desktop app and uninstalled it via CleanMyMac. "Early Releases" was already activated in my preferences, and I manually deleted my ~/Dropbox folder. Then I ran the latest universal installer, signed in, and the app created a new ~/Dropbox folder. It is currently syncing back my ~100000 files, and it already showed me a warning message about Smart-Sync which links to this article: https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/macos-12-monterey-support
It seems like a server-side switch has is needed (staged rollout), and currently, it is not my turn yet.
Not sure this is true (about a server-side switch). So dummy me...I turned on early releases and it promptly went and updated to the latest beta AND created the folder in CloudStorage. But I had to try to be smarter then went and removed everything and did the universal install. Nothing in CloudStorage now and I'm back to the normal Dropbox folder 😉
So there is a new setting I think in the web UI settings for your user...
"Smart Sync update for Mac" either on of off (off on my setup). That is in addition to the "Dropbox system extension" setting. Has anyone else seen this and for those having issues with the Monterey setup have you tried turning it on?
