Lightroom Classic (Mac) Catalog Folder Structure broken through /Library/Cloudstorage change - help!

I recently updated my Dropbox library to the new structure (I believe) required by Apple and this has caused a breaking issue on Lightroom Classic on Mac because of the path structures have changed

Old:

/Users/cd/Dropbox/Pictures/Lightroom/2023/2023-12-16

New: 

/Users/cd/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Pictures/Lightroom/2023/2023-12-16

Due to Lightroom having issues with this, my images are being split into two different folders with in the _app's folder_ structure (it used to mirror the Finder's but now there are duplicates for every item created AFTER the update. 

 

There is a 'fix' for this called the 'capitalisation bug fix' which should work but I wanted to flag on Dropbox and see if anyone here has run into this issue as I think more than just me will have their catalogs in Dropbox.

Here's my discussion on this subject on the Adobe side

  • Good news!

     

    This issue is solved by creating new presets in the Lightroom Import Module to a new disc location. By creating these new presets, the "Library/Cloud Storage/" is automatically added to the file structure of this new location.

     

    Next step, in the Lightroom Library Module, was to move all folders to this new location. Everything is working fine now. Also edits in Photoshop are saved in the right location.
