    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the reply Rich.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just got off the phone with mac support and they are blaming Dropbox API for being broken.&amp;nbsp; The technician said that after poking around on the internet for a few minutes, these issues only seem to apply to DB when it comes to cloud storage providers...&amp;nbsp; guess i'll hope for dropbox to update someday.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks again.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I shuffle around large images a lot (1-3Gb apiece), so I use a few terabytes of dropbox space.&amp;nbsp; historicaly i've used an external hard drive as my dropbox folder destination, and all has been well.&amp;nbsp; I updated my DB app on my Mac (running Monterey 12.6) and now it has folded DB into my local hard drive (which does not have enough space for my files).&amp;nbsp; The field where destination is set (Preferences &amp;gt; Sync &amp;gt; Dropbox folder location) now has the following text:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"This version of macOS requires Dropbox folders to be stored here:"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I cannot seem to change the destination nor revert the change DB's update created.&amp;nbsp; Has anyone had a this similar issue and found a way to use an external still?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;The latest changes for Dropbox on a Mac require the Dropbox folder to be stored in the CloudStorage folder on your system drive. This is a requirement enforced by Apple's new File Provider API. Dropbox no longer supports external hard drives on a Mac.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
