All done 🙂
Had to grant some permissions (full disk) to DB in Mac. Unlinked DB and then started over and let it choose the default path. It did go to Library/Cloud Storage and now all works fine. Thanks!

Hi andy011, welcome to our Community!
On your new Mac, do you have the new File Provider update, where the Dropbox folder must be located in ~/Library/CloudStorage?
If you could also let me know the OS you're using with your Mac, that'd be amazing.
Can you hover your mouse over the little Dropbox icon on your menu bar, next to your WiFi, and check the version of the app that you're using there?
Let me know more!

Hi Megan,
The folder path is Macintosh HD/Users/Andy/Dropbox.
Running latest Sonoma 14.2 (23C64).
App version: 188.4.6302
Not sure about File Provider update. In app preferences > Sync it says: You are not eligible for the updated Dropbox for macOS on File Provider at this time.
Any idea why is that?
Thanks!
