Hi @"Michael S.197" , I just had a bit of a look at this issue at my end, and I might have some useful suggestions ... When logged in as my second Administrative level user, what you can do is as follows - or at least it works for me: * Open a terminal window * Navigate to the existing user's folder - normally this will be…

Hi @"Michael S.197" , Did you see the link I put in the earlier part of this thread ... It's quite a good guide, even if it refers to an older version of the OS, however under Ventura some steps look somewhat different now ... However the basic steps should remain the same ... I should point out however that my move…

Hi @"Michael S.197" , And with regard to the problems you're specifically experiencing, can I make some suggestions - but perhaps you've done this already? Not sure. * Create a NEW User on your machine - with Administrative privileges - if you haven't done so already * Log in as that user * Perform the copy of your old…

Hi @"Michael S.197", Great news that Apple Support were helpful ... A little off topic, but I do remember the move of User Profile Home Directory quite a challenging process, but for my particular scenario worth doing, with a space constrained system drive, on a machine I really want to keep using for some time ... I take…

Hi Walter, Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure your explanation either matches my scenario, or clarifies things for me. I'm certainly not sure what I'm seeing is consistent with what you've described, particularly given I have other Macs with matching file structure / settings that certainly aren't displaying the same…

Hey Walter, No, it's been up to date for several days. And I note that the behaviour of the "sync" indicators appearing from the lowest level files seems to be quite inconsistent unfortunately. Here's the screenshot you requested. Here is another view as I traverse the folder view this morning, which suggests that the…

Hi All, Just reporting whether the steps I took did address my original concern - the complete absence of the green "synchronised" indicators on my Dropbox folders under Ventura, and seeing whether relocating the Dropbox folder into the recommended Home Profile location would resolve that. Well the news is both good and…

Hi There, Yes, booting from an alternative System drive, so your home folder / location of DropBox folder is on that alternative / external / fast / larger drive certainly is a good alternative ... I guess my situation evolved over time, as the amount of stuff I have in Dropbox grew, and as the volume of stuff in my Mac…

Hi All, Now I am replying to this thread, but with a caveat of "I haven't tried this yet", and I'm even a little hesitant to try it myself - but I probably will - and it is consistent with (I think) both a) Apple's preferred arrangements, and b) Dropbox's compliance with Apple's approach / APIs. Firstly, let me say…
