Okay, this means that all your files are syncing normally. If there were any issues, there would be a message there, on the 'sync issues' page.

Yes, there are no problems with syncing. The problem I described is that I have two different directories, which prohibits me from using my Dropbox smoothly across computers. If my code contains a command to load a file from "~/Library/CloudStorage" then it will fail on my Mac Mini because there is no such directory. As described, the Dropbox application for the Mac Mini states that "You are not eligible for the new Dropbox for macOS on File Provider at this time". But how can it be eligible on one computer and not another, even if it is the same account and the Dropbox obviously contains the same contents?

Hey descuidadad! Can you clarify the OS version of the device that’s not eligible for File Provider at the moment?
Other than than, I’d like to know what drive you currently have the Dropbox app installed on; is it an internal drive or an external one?
