Dropbox support for macOS 12.3
So I'm referring to https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/macos-12-monterey-support
Does this mean it will be 100% safe to upgrade to macOS 12.3 as long as I keep Smart sync to Loc...

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.

Maybe I've missed something or I'm being dense but is anyone else struggling with Dropbox since the update? I've always automatically synced all files online and haven't had any trouble simply double-clicking to open them. Now I have to make them available offline before I can open them to edit/access my files. It does seem like this is not an issue with recent files but older ones. It's a pain. Is anyone else dealing with this? Have you found a solution?
I'm using a Mac OS Monterey 12.2.1 and the drobox desktop app if that is helpful.

Yes i've noticed that opening online-only files is now not working as expected in macOS versions before 12.3 as well.
