Rollout of new Mac Ventura Dropbox folder location (~/Library/CloudStorage) still ongoing?
Hi, I'm on Mac OS Ventura (13.0.1) and Dropbox v162.4.5419 (with a Dropbox Plus subscription) and everything is working smoothly... but, my Dropbox folder is still in "~/Dropbox" As I understand ...
Hey iancackett, thanks for posting your question to our Community!
We are indeed currently still in the process of rolling out the updated Dropbox for macOS app, which will provide full support for online-only files.
The update will not be rolled out to all Dropbox users at once, but rest assured you will receive a notification to update the app in the coming months.
To keep up to date with what is happening with the rollout, you can visit this page.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I have a similar issue. I cannot change the location of Dropbox. And also I can no turn the online only files to Available off line! It´s crazy. Everything goes online all the time. I cannot take control on my Dropbox.
Same for me, files go randomly online (on my Mac with Ventura) and they should stay offline. Beyond frustrating!
Same problem here. I used for a decade Dropbox as part of my workflow for availability and backups of my daily working files... I had to stop using Dropbox since they were only on the cloud, WTF. Hope they change this sometime.
How is this an upgrade by everything I read this is a downgrade. https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-faqs
This is not an upgrade at all this is a massive headache and just caused me hours and hours of work to recreate several symbolic links and issues across multiple OS since I can no longer upgrade some of my computers. There is nothing here that is beneficial and should be called a downgrade. Seeing packages as folders is not something I want and is not a feature I can do that with right clicking already. Please explain yourselves a bit more because other applications allow this, and dropbox currently works without this "upgrade." This is one of your most lame releases yet.
