    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.

STILL on OS12.1 because of all the potential issues I'm reading about, but really need to at least upgrade to 12.6 now.

 

I have an M1 iMac and an intel MacBook Pro that are my main machines than I need to sync seamlessly, and a ton of shared folders with clients that I don't want to lose. I use mainly Adobe apps.

 

I don't have files on external drives, so not too worried about that issue, and I can live with the smart sync issue, if I can at least open online only files through the finder. The majority of my files are live on one machine or the other.

 

Given all that how safe if it to upgrade, and is there any reason to only go to 12.6 or might I just as well go to Ventura?
