Did you desync everything that was synced with DB on the Mac And did
you then sync whatever you want to use with iCloud Drive?

No Herbie, I haven’t reinstalled Dropbox on the Mac,, mostly because the
Dropbox iOS app works perfectly well, and I can access all my stuff. It’s only
when I try to use local apps on my Mac that I get weird results. I’m thinking
of just sticking with Dropbox, I just don’t have the energy or the interest to
try to debug an OS X problem. I did do a thorough first a check on the
Macintosh HD volume from within recovery mode, but haven’t checked out to see
whether that’s made a difference.
How would I do that by the way, go to dropbox.com and get a new installer, and
then just open the installer package locally and let it overwrite the old
dropbox? What I need to log out first etc.? Sent from my IPhone

This sounds like an extension of the issues you are already experiencing.
Something is not sinking correctly in Dropbox. Have you tried reinstalling
Dropbox?

I planned to cancel my dropbox subscription and made a copy of everything in
dropbox and place it in iCloud. It totals less than 30gb. But, media files like
mp3, m4a, etc are problematic. Trying to open any media file in either iCloud
or the local dropbox folders is most likely to result in an error message or
just unable to open it. Its really hit or miss as some files will open, others
will not. However, everything opens and plays perfectly well using the IOS
dropbox app. I've come to believe that it is not dropbox' fault, but that
something is really screwed up on my side.
I've never done a clean upgrade or install of the various OSX updates and I
thing that maybe my file associations are a bit messed up. That's all I can
figure.
So, I either go back to Dropbox with tail between my legs and pay the renewal
subscription, or I pull my hair out trying to fix this media file mess.
Any thoughts, feelings, admonitions, suggestions, quick fixes, etc?
