dropbox and Lightroom

Tearing out the little hair that remains.

My photos folder (photos go here) and my Lightroom catalogue are both in Dropbox. My Dropbox folder has always been in my Users folder (wells jacobson) as seen in first attached image. I use a Mac and Dropbox has changed the location of the Dropbox folder to Hard drive > Library > cloud storage. Now when I try to import to Lightroom -- see image 2. How can I get the imports to go to the old sequence of folders?

Hope the images makes this clear.

Thank you.image 1image 2

Hey @Pozos, thanks for letting us know about this.

Can you check the exact version of the Dropbox app and the sync status of the app, by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar?

Also, which macOS version is your computer running?

Have you tried unlinking and relinking Lightroom to your Dropbox, to see if that helps?

Keep me posted.

Hannah, I amusing 176.4.5108 and it says up to date. Mac is Ventura 13.4

I think I fixed it but not without trepidation. I controlled clicked a folder with a ? and it asked if I wanted to locate the folder. I did so and it asked if I wanted to merge folders. This was the trepidation. I did and now it seems linked. thank you.
