Dropbox

Where Dropbox keeps its logs

Dropbox logs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Dropbox\logs\ on Windows.

Dropbox logs to ~/Library/Application Support/Dropbox/logs/ on macOS.

Dropbox logs to ~/.dropbox/logs/ on Linux.

Paths are printed exactly as Dropbox writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
