Moving Dropbox folder from ~/Library/CloudStorage
What is the reason for not allowing me to specify where I want to save my Dropbox files in Ventura? I don't have enough space in my system drive to keep a copy of my Dropbox files. And yes, I need ...

Hello goodnight.
I'm using the Ventura version, and I also had the same problem, analyzing my Logs, and observing the Forum messages, I performed a battery of tests.
1. Reinstall via homebrew (same error)
2. Manual reinstall (same error)Then I went to other levels of execution, when running as Root, it worked at first.
Puff, it dawned on me, permission was the problem.
I reset the permissions. (same error) lol 😞
I decided to run the binaries via terminal.
"cd /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS"
Then "./Dropbox"
However, I still got error.
Realizing that it had worked as root, and there were indications of permissions.
I decided to delete the root folders.
"/Users/elizeu/.dropbox"
"/Users/elizeu/Dropbox"IT WORKED.!!!!

I gave it a try but I am still getting the same error!
The only difference this time was that I was asked to grant Dropbox accessibility permissions.
Just to be clear, ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox is a symlink to some other location.
What did you reset permissions to? And where?

Hello, I advise you to define the Symbolic Link after the correct installation and startup of Dropbox.
I also had the same issue and message from accessibility permissions.
As I said, to reset the permissions, I had to delete the folders:
/Users/yourusername/.dropbox
/Users/yourusername/Dropbox
Take this test and answer here.
