Note the different file size from pic 2 (1)Ģnd pic: the original 1 app next to the modified one (1 in ist changed to 1).

The pics below are uploaded from my Dropbox on El Cap.ġst pic: the original 1 app which doesn't launch (either by opening it or navigating to /Contents/MacOS/Dropbox - resulting in an traceback). It might work with the next version in which case the process will need to be repeated from 1. Symlink might work but I haven't tried it and suspect it would not be officially supported.ħ) Copy back the modified Dropbox app back to /ApplicationsĪs of today 16 January 2023 this works, I am not sure how long for or how long it will be before the hash tables / encryptions are changed. Therefore you are limited by the size of your internal drive. One factor which is a brick wall for many is that the change of location to ~/Library/CloudStorage rules out having your Dropbox folder on an external drive. Dropbox communication on the whole subject is shambolic.

That announcement was no more than one post by a Dropbox staffer in one of the many threads on the subject in the Dropbox forums. I suspect it is referring to Business and Teams but Dropbox don't say that. You have probably seen this confusing announcement which was released six months after I had started using the betas successfully.

Also I am a lone user with a Personal account, I am not sure what the situation for Business and Teams accounts is. However I am still on the beta channel and not sure what is being delivered on the Release channel. Apple extension fileproviderd working, Dropbox folder in ~/Library/CloudStorage etc. I have been on the Dropbox betas which address the macOS12.3 changes since Feb/March, and it is all working fine for me including Ventura.
