If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

    Jay I see. Thanks

    Would you advise migrating and why?
    Is there a place in the community where I can subscribe to see when limitation and bugs are resolved specifically for dropbox with file provider.

      It's up to you if you wish to migrate to another provider, I wouldn't be able to advise on that matter.

       

      This article mentions other changes with the File Provider version of the Dropbox desktop application.
