Thanks for clarifying that for me OldMacGuy - much appreciated.
Full support for macOS 12.5 and higher has started rolling out. Broader availability will begin in November as we work to preserve the reliability and quality of our sync experience. You will be notified when you’re eligible enroll your other device as well.

We currently have a private beta, which will be more widely available in October. If you’re interested in joining, you can turn on early releases.
I hope this helps!
With the move of Dropbox to Locations my ability to use Sync Folders Pro to copy the contents of Dropbox to an external hard drive suddenly has become a giant pain. The task doing that used to be near instantaneous. Now, it takes forever. I don't understand why.
Hi Hikejo,
I'm just wondering how you got Sync Folders Pro to work?
All I want to do is copy stuff out of dropbox onto my desktop, but I end up going around in circles trying to give Sync Folders Pro Full Disk Access.

I do this, syncing Dropbox to an external hard drive because, heaven forbid, there should ever be a problem with internet access, my work is preserved. I date back to pre-personal computer days, so I take nothing for granted. 🤓
