If you try Strongsync (I think there's a free trial), let us know how it works. I'm definitely considering moving to OneDrive, since I already have it anyway, but like many in this thread have said, my workflows are based on Dropbox, so moving would be inconvenient (plus I'd have to deal with the stability and filename issues I mentioned).

If you choose to update to macOS 12.3, you may have issues opening online-only files in third-party applications on your Mac.

Do More with Dropbox Do more with Dropbox Developer & API Desktop client builds Share an idea. Dropbox is actively working on full support for the upcoming macOS 12.3 (Monterey) release and will begin rolling out a beta version in March 2022. Will Dropbox work on it on release day, or do we have to wait a while Dropbox. because they're in an app's package), file deletions (iCloud Drive), etc. Apple have announced that macOS Monterey will be available from next Monday (25 October 2021). I have not experienced problems like others with dropbox not starting up, but whoever I have dropbox sync something it is either perpetually indexing or downloading it. I've had more sync issues with the other services than I have with Dropbox: duplicating files, issues with "illegal characters" in filenames that I can't change (e.g. I have upgraded to Monterey 12.01 but ever since I'm having problems with dropbox not syncing properly. I also use OneDrive (two accounts) and iCloud Drive. We postponed updating to Monterey to give time for Dropbox to fix their issue with macOS 12.3 12.4 is well established and 13 Ventura was announced 1 month ago, but Dropbox is still saying 'we've got a fix in progress' - rather stretches one's trust in what Dropbox say. If your data is stuck in Dropbox and you need "smart sync" (i.e., all the files synced, but not stored locally taking up disk space), Strongdrive may be a solid replacement for Dropbox's client, and it's not in beta. I migrated dropbox from High Sierra to Monterey on an iMac 24 with M 1 processor and received the following message: bn.BUILDKEY: Dropbox bn.VERSION: 1 bn.constants.WINDOWSSHELLEXTVERSION: 51 bn. Although I own it (there was a sale), I don't personally use it, but I do use the company's similar product, ExpanDrive on Linux (I'm working on getting off of macOS, but that's a different, related, story), and have used ExpanDrive previously on Mac with good results. There is an app named " Strongsync" which connects to various services, including Dropbox, using the File Provider framework. This is modeled after the way iCloud Drive works. Services using this framework most notably end up in the Finder's sidebar rather than syncing files into a folder in your home directory (local copies are stored in ~/Library/CloudStorage, but you're not supposed to care about that). As I understand it, in macOS Monterey, Apple introduced the File Provider framework which builds "smart sync"-style functionality directly into macOS.
