Photo Library not reachable on macOS after Dropbox sync
Hello all,
I am running MaCos Ventura 13.1. I have both iCloud and Dropbox storage for my photos (call me paranoid if you like :-). I like the ability to select a photo from the photo library when ...
Hello everyone,
We have an update on this. This has occurred as Apple no longer allows Photos Library to be synced with cloud-storage services. You can find out more about this here in the Expected Changes article.

Dropbox StaffHey Mirna D., thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you send us a screenshot of the message you mentioned on the application icon?
And if you try to rebuild the Spotlight index, does that help?
Cheers!
Dear Hannah,
many thanks for your help ! Rebuilding the spotlight did not help, since the Photo library is greyed out in the choice of files to + or _ in the Spotlight privacy. Here is the screenshot of what happens when I try to open the Photo Library. It says that the Photo Library is in Dropbox and that I should move it back to Mac to able to open it. Best wishes ! Mirna

Hi Mirna D., as it seems you're on the new version of Dropbox for Mac OS, Apple no longer allows Photos Library to be stored over cloud-storage services, so you'd need to move it to your local storage.
- I am having the same issue - after the Dropbox upgrade, when I try to open the photo library, it produces an error, saying “Photo library is in Dropbox and needs to be moved to a folder on your Mac to open”. How do I move it to a folder on my Mac? I’ve tried to copy and paste Photo Library to my Mac folder, but it just gives the same error. I’m running Mac OS Monterey 12.6 Thanks in advance!
