new Dropbox version using macOS file API

[jkr97128]

Dropbox is notifying of a new version for macOS that uses an Apple file system API for security. I am concerned that the file API appears to likely hide files (in ~/Library), and may interfere with how I interact with the file system. I am constantly interacting with the file system, with Finder, with a complex app (Matlab) that I work in very much and even with Terminal, where I use such primitive commands as 'ls'. If the files I have in Dropbox are in effect hidden behind a new file API, how will I be able to access them? Will I need to rely on Dropbox simply to get at them, e.g. for opening in Matlab, or simply copying them from one place to another in Finder?
