Expected changes with Dropbox for macOS
help.dropbox.com
In short, macOS is forcing Dropbox to move its folder location to ~/Library/CloudStorage. The problem is that however this works, Spotlight seems broken after the Dropbox upgrade. It can find files I've opened before stored in Dropbox but it can't open them. I can't even Command click on Spotlight results to take me to the file in Finder, and I can't search for the files in Finder, either. So…how the heck is this supposed to work?
