    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. 

     

    So, in essence, this is an update to ensure that the Dropbox desktop app continues working seamlessly on your devices and what you noticed is actually part of this process. 

     

    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!

I couldn't agree more! I really liked Dropbox but they have just laid a massive EGG of **bleep**ing **bleep**E! I could SCREAM. F***! I have literally wasted hours with this. And why is the Dropbox Folder now going in the Library Folder? This seems VERY invasive, I always thought that Folder is reserved for Mac System and should be left well alone! Not even iCloud Folder is in there. And why is the folder now dated 1. January 1970. Now I can't even delete that Folder from my Mac, if I want to stop using the DB app. I use Monterey and won't be moving to Ventura for a very long while. Glad I haven't upgraded. Shame. Also, I NEVER set up or asked for 2-Factor Authentification. Now when I try and log in via browser it takes 40min for the 6-digit code to arrive. Jesus f... Christ. This is pure vandalism.
