Thanks for taking the time to post here today, capellifabio.

You can take a look at some more info on what to expect with the update and any possible limitations here.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Hey Hannah, thanks for your reply.
I can't believe I am the only one facing this problem? nobody else brought it up?
I mean the only alternatives I see at the moment are either I don't upgrade dropbox ever again, or I move to another cloud storage that can backup the dropbox folder I have now without having to move it?
In my case Dropbox won't start at all after updating to the most recent version, where the Dropbox folder is moved to the new cloud storage location. It worked for some time but suddenly it stopped working. I'm on Monterey 12.6.3 and as long as the former Dropbox version is supported, I won't update. With the traditional installation everything works as usual. But the update is somewhat unstable at the moment.
