When I navigate to ~/Dropbox, Matlab goes to the path /Users/me/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox. I can't seem to go directly to Dropbox, only this strange path. Matlab doesn't show any of the file contents there even though I have all my files local on disk here. I granted full disk access to matlab. But still I don't see any of the file contents that are accessible in every other program (e.g., MS Word, Excel, browsers, etc.).

How do I fix this?

I solve my problem providing MATLAB with Full Disk Access:

Open System Settings, click Privacy & Security, then click Full Disk Access and select matlab.

(I use matlab R2022b and macbook pro intel with Ventura 13.5.2)

@Xavier Blasco Thanks for this solution! I had this issue with a mounted macFuse folder, and now it works.

This is not a matlab thing. It is a dropbox/macos thing. It was a recent change (~6 months ago), see https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-support-for-expected-changes

In short, it was an update from dropbox in order to use an API provided by apple to sync files, that required putting the folder in that location. What you see at ~/Dropbox is actually an alias (shorcut), not the real folder.

I am unsure if you still do not see any files in /Users/me/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox, though. If that is the case, matlab can be weird sometimes with stuff that is not synced. It could also be that you are in some other weird situation caused by the migration when you updated dropbox.
