DB hasn't worked right for me since Sonoma. I have v14.1.2, but I'm reluctant to upgrade further bc DB seems to not have caught up to that yet, and might explode into little pieces if Apple throws something new at them. And these are apparently not at all Apple issues or MacOS issues, they appear to be incompatibility issues with DB, which no longer works on MacOS the way it used to.
The menu bar icon seems to not be in sync with what is really happening, for one thing. I upload a file, and it does not report activity. 'Syncing Issues' reports nothing. It's like DB has fallen asleep.
If I go to a Finder window, what that shows if I update a file by uploading a newer version, is the old file with the older creation date still there—no new file.
The only way I can get it to work is to delete the older version completely, and sometimes it even appears to ignore that.
On dropbox.com, it seems to be a little better. But I still need to delete an old version first to replace it with a new version. That takes more DB resources, as they can't do incremental file updates that way and must redownload the entire file, which is likely not what they have in mind.
Dropbox has been befuddled since Ventura. Do they even care? Are they even trying to fix it?

It seems fairly broken to me. I also noticed cases where on a few files it reports that it can't sync, but when you look at the file via the web portal it's there, and you can open it.
This is just supposed to work. I really don't have time on my hands to fiddle
