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.
So what happens if I don't update to MacOS File Provider?
I do not use iCloud at all, so there is no need for my files to ever be in ~/Library/CloudStorage
And more importantly it's literally my computer, it's not Dropbox's, and it's not Apple's, it's mine, and as the owner I am the only one who gets to decide where the files go. It's completely ridiculous for Dropbox, Apple or any other tech company to think they should be able move the location of my files on their own without my permission.
I'm not interested in a boilerplate response that Apple is making you do it for blah, blah, blah reasons. I'm just going to keep clicking 'not now' every time the nag message comes up. Will my files continue to sync as expected indefinitely or is there some hard deadline where that will stop working.
If there is a deadline where it will stop working if I haven't switched to MacOS File Provider, I will switch to a competing service.
Any news about MacOS 14 Sonoma and the 'old' (or latest) Dropbox ?
Anyone decided to fully update?
I'm still using Dropbox v184.4.6543 and MacOS Sonoma—works the same, nothing seems to have changed...
