I also checked Activity Monitor as well to make sure nothing DB was running.īottom line: How can I revert back to NOT using File Provider, and not having the DB folder in the Cloudstorage folder? I know it's possible not to use File Provider in Ventura 13.6.1 because this is happening right now on my M1 Macbook Air running the same exact OS as my Mini.

I did remove the DB folder from Application Support as well. Ugh! It's like some preferences were still on my computer, but nowhere I can think to look. Then I thoroughly uninstalled Dropbox (I needed to use Terminal to get rid of the DB folder from the Cloudstorage folder), restarted my computer, installed Dropbox again, but it automatically installed using File Provider, putting the darn DB folder in the darn Cloudstorage folder again. I wanted to do the same on my Mac Mini, so I upgraded my Mini to Ventura. I prefer this, since there are issues with using File Provider. With Dropbox, users can upload and store files of any type, including documents, photos, and videos, and access. It is designed to make it easy for individuals and teams to store, share, and collaborate on files from any device and location. I selected No, and it installed the DB folder in my User folder, which is great. Dropbox is a cloud-based file storage and sharing platform that was launched in 2007. I downloaded and installed Dropbox on the Air, and it asked if I wanted to use File Provider. I just got a Macbook Air, running Ventura.

I have an M1 Mac Mini with Dropbox installed since Monetary, and I think it automatically started using File Provider, because it installed the DB folder in Cloudstorage.
