The upgrade to new new macOS build (one that uses Locations) has been a complete and total disaster

Where drop box states "Sync performance is now regulated by macOS."

Does that mean drop box is going to be as unreliable, slow to synch and esentially useless as iCloud files are? I can wait hours for a photo or file to actually arrive in a shared folder within iCloud. and I can tell it to be available locally only to find its offlined itself at a later date.

"Changing the location of your Dropbox folder is no longer supported by Dropbox for macOS with Apple's File Provider API."

does this mean I cant have drop box on an external drive any more?

"Dropbox files or folders not previously set to Make available offline may be automatically set to online-only when your hard drive is low on disk space."

does this mean I cant rely on files I've told to be available offline, being available without individually inspecting every file before heading off somewhere?

a.k.a. will function like iCloud files? (are apple just trying to kill off DB by making it as useless as iCloud files?) 

"Some downloaded files won’t display as occupying disk space."

Is my computer going to keep telling me my hard disk is full and i'll have no idea why or where to locate the issue?

"LAN Sync is currently not supported."

So my 8gb rhino file that Mac Os for some reason wants to update every 2 minutes, is going to upload and download to every computer I have runnning this DB account? Welcome home Youtube 240p or paused synch for all files.

For over 10 years Drop Box is the first thing I install on every new computer. I'm feeling like the end of the road is looming.

if its not better than iCloud then I probably don't need it any more?
