    You can never ever say its 100% safe - simply because you'd be using a Beta OS and also a Beta version of Dropbox. However, it should work well, but, be cautious of the fact it is beta at all levels. 

     

    I know previously at last minute notice Apple have changed how stuff worked in beta versions meaning stuff which used to work no longer did when updated to the next release so thats also something to be aware of.

    Thank you Mark 👍🏽😊🙏🏽

    OK, I think I understand that this newsletter and article was referring to betas now.

    I was thinking that it referred to 12.3 stable release when it's coming.

      What about when Apple deploys the production (non-Beta) version of MacOS 12.3?  

      If I accept the 12.3 upgrade, will I still be able to open my online only files via Finder?

      Will there be any proactive communication from DropBox to guide Mac users through the current issue where MacOS 12.3 may not be compatible with the DropBox Legacy System Extension?

      Thanks

        Dropbox has always had client ready releases upon releases of updated OS's. I cannot foresee any issues or changes this time.
