I got this email from Dropbox:
"We’re writing to let you know that an updated version of Dropbox for
macOS is ready. This updated version of the Dropbox app has a deep integration with macOS to ensure you have the best Dropbox experience."
I'm happy with Dropbox just quietly sitting on the menu bar getting on
with the job. Anyone done the update? What does this "deep integration"
look like? Am worried this is just bloat and will be a resource hog.

As a mainly Apple systems user these days I just use iCloud paying a small monthly fee to get 50GB storage. There’s also iCloud for Windows but I’ve
never used it to sync data with my Macs and iDevices. Does Dropbox still install a version of Chrome which presumably runs continuously in the background?

I did not see anything like this so far on my Mac. Check the processes
in the activity monitor. Nothing like this on Linux either.
I¹ve completely removed Dropbox from my systems so can¹t check.

I didn't use it much anyway. Then I found it was the 2nd highest user of
energy on my iMac - so deleted it.
I stopped using it ages ago too, also finding it to be a resource hog, and far too integrated into the OS.
It also seems to be the lowest level of free space, and one of the least value for money to upgrade.
As I have an Apple One Family account now, with 2TB, most of the freebies
are just wasted resources.
If I need an odd small file share I just use my Google account, that still gives 5GB, as does an Outlook account if you want to go that way. MS
OneDrive seems to be less of a hog than Dropbox

It depends on what you mean by serious work. In the commercial world then
you are probably correct but for home users then it should be adequate.

OK, I have not really been following this. I know there was the question on how to move files to iCloud from the CLI or AppleScript. Is that still the question? If so maybe I can answer it. I did a very quick test with the CLI (in AppleScript, so I guess both) and it failed. Did not troubleshoot to find out why. Maybe iCloud is special and protected... or I just made a mistake. I did very little testing.

I thought Carroll posted some CLI commands he at least said worked. I did not test them. Did you? Am I wrong about him posting such (I could be).
Thanks for at least TRYING to simulate the situation.
You are welcome.
Just tested this, from the command line (have a file called text.txt in Downloads)
cd ~/Downloads
mv test.txt ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/test.txt
It worked.
From AppleScript:
All one line, and note the slight change in syntax (the double \\). It does ask for permission but works.
Does that answer the question?

You are welcome.
Just tested this, from the command line (have a file called text.txt in Downloads)
cd ~/Downloads
mv test.txt ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/test.txt
It worked.
From AppleScript:
All one line, and note the slight change in syntax (the double \\). It does ask for permission but works.
Does that answer the question?

From above: "I know there was the question on how to move files to iCloud from

That is what it did. To be be specific.
It moved a file (mv).
The file that was moved: test.txt (in the Documents folder)
Where it was moved: the top level of the iCloud folder (the syntax for that is
a bit cumbersome, but that is what this part is: ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/test.txt
The way the mv (move) command works:
mv [source] [destination]
Does that make sense to you?

If your question is about 'I'm okay with it being in my iCloud

This is an example of his game. If Carroll *truly* thought the answer had been

A little off topic: but I did have some slight syncing issues with iCloud. The
updated files I uploaded did not show on iCloud.com. I rebooted and went back into the folder and they made it there. Maybe it was just taking time -- my ISP has been flakey recently, not just for me but several neighbors. They are coming this week to check the line.
If you want the CLI and AppleScript scripts I used, I have shared them there as well:

If it helps I can even share the AppleScript file (editable).

As I understand it, iCloud doesn't share. Sharing is done with iCloud
Drive. If your question is about 'I'm okay with it being in my iCloud
folder, but why is it in my iCloud Drive folder when I didn't knowingly >>>> put it there?' then perhaps an inadvertant 'share' operation is the reason.
Here's what I see on our MacBookAir

Do YOU see similar?
A little off topic: but I did have some slight syncing issues with iCloud. The
updated files I uploaded did not show on iCloud.com. I rebooted and went back
into the folder and they made it there. Maybe it was just taking time -- my >> ISP has been flakey recently, not just for me but several neighbors. They are
coming this week to check the line.
If you want the CLI and AppleScript scripts I used, I have shared them there >> as well:

If it helps I can even share the AppleScript file (editable).
Thank you! :-D I've got that - just as we tested before(via Messages!)
What I WANTED you to do was move a VIDEO file into iCloud Drive
You did that with your 'pencils' - HOW?!!!
Have you tried any of these scripts?

The way the mv (move) command works:
mv [source] [destination]
Does that make sense to you?
Oh dear. I'm afraid not. :-(
I also wiped my hard drives and reinstalled macOS Monterey. I think that
has helped!

Surely you have an iCloud Drive on your MacBookPro?

No, just the desktop and documents folders.

Thank you.
I have done exactly that and cannot reproduce the situation now.

How many devices do you have synchronized?
All - with the exception of 'Desktop & Documents'

No, just the desktop and documents folders.
Depends on your iCloud settings, and if you use the apps (and do not save the files elsewhere).

This is a default setting apparently.
I got this email from Dropbox:
"We’re writing to let you know that an updated version of Dropbox for
macOS is ready. This updated version of the Dropbox app has a deep integration with macOS to ensure you have the best Dropbox experience."
I'm happy with Dropbox just quietly sitting on the menu bar getting on
with the job. Anyone done the update? What does this "deep integration"
look like? Am worried this is just bloat and will be a resource hog.
My sole use of Dropbox,is to enable me to see certain files on my iPad as well
as on the iMac.

You may be pleased to hear that iCloud files works extremely well these
days. Particularly if Dropbox carry on making terrible clients and
deprecate the old better ones.

Thanks, John.
Although not in the Apple App Store, it does still appear to be

Quite expensive, although if you are upgrading, rather more affordable:- https://store.leisterpro.com/WebStore/webcart.php
