Hi Severin,

A Photos Library needs to be on a locally mounted drive. 
If you want to save storage on your Mac, move the library to an external USB 
drive.

Keeping the library in Dropbox will damage it sooner or later…

If you store your Photos library in a location that's part of a cloud service 
(for example, Dropbox, Box, or Google Drive), your library might be damaged by 
the syncing process.
As a result, you could lose photos.
 
To prevent data loss, Apple doesn't recommend storing photo libraries on 
external storage devices like SD cards and USB flash drives, or drives that are 
shared on a network.

Cheers,
Ronni

Photos and Dropbox

I am needing to save Photos libraries on Dropbox if possible.  Dropbox saves 
them as a mess!  Is there a way?   Zip?
