    I'm running a MacPro (2019) with Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400).

     

    I now understand much more. Dropbox offered me the option of backing up my Desktop, Downloads, and Documents folders. I had accepted this option. In trying to fix a sync problem, I deleted Dropbox with the intention of reinstalling. That left the three folders as aliases pointing to an unknown location. This is why I couldn't download. That's a relatively minor difficulty: you tell Safari to use a different folder for downloads.

     

    I solved the problem by creating a new user, installing Dropbox and not taking the options mentioned earlier. I think sync is now working. Time will tell.

     

    Dropbox cost me days of work, and I'm angry.
