Group Container vs Cloud Storage. Fight!
I've got ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox taking up 367gb and that's all well and good but I also have ~/Library/GroupContainers/G7HH3F8CAK.com.getdropbox.dropbox.syn...

Um, no, no sync icons because it's a Group Container in the user library folder. It contains, you know, system stuff.

Hey James V.1, just an update on this.
The folder you're seeing, should be a temporary folder. The files under this folder should get cleaned up after these files are uploaded/downloaded and sync becomes stable.
We do not recommend deleting the folder.
As a workaround, you can try reinstalling the app by following the steps explained here.
This will put Dropbox folder to a original location (under users folder) from ~/Library/CloudStorage location.

Hi @James V.1
Did the reinstall work for you? I am having the same issue in group containers.
Thanks,

I didn't re-install. I realised dropbox would just leave all the stuff there so I made sure I had a backup and then deleted the folder using daisy disk (an app).
Dropbox didn't need this folder and it was, for me at least, a hangover from the previous version of dropbox that worked in a different way.
Don't do anything without having a proper backup though. I recommend backblaze which is about 6 dollars a month.

Re-intsall of dropbox didn't do anything
