So finally took the plunge and upgraded one of my two Mac's (currently running Ventura 13.5) to Dropbox File Provider.
Had a few bugs with syncing, but for the most part seems to be working.
But now I'm worried that my other backup systems are not going to work with the new location of the Dropbox folder.
I am old school and paranoid about losing important files, and never fully trust Dropbox. So I usually try to keep the majority of my files live on the Mac, and back up to a physical hard drive using Time Machine, as well as keeping a Backblaze cloud backup.
After the upgrade, it appears the Backblaze does not see the new Dropbox folder location, and I'm worried that Time Machine won't either.
Have seen some threads regarding this here and there, but still not clear on if and how I can back up my files that are in the new Dropbox folder, apart from the Dropbox.
