RB 6 Cloud sync file locations

Ok, so I have a question for cloud sync users. I recently sync one of my playlists to test around with cloud sync. I noticed when I selected the Copy Option, it copied the files to dropbox, and set the location of the file in playlist of the dropbox. Is that how its supposed to work?? does it not sync/update the source directory? Why would it make dropbox the source location? the whole purpose of cloud sync is to make it available elsewhere no? and not change the location in the playlist to dropbox but sync with the source location from dropbox. This whole feature is useless if I have to maintain another location of my files, which I have organized in the file structure as I like. Please anyone let me know if I am wrong. and when I tuned cloud sync off, the files location in the playlist remained for Dropbox. Now it means I have to find the files again or go back to a previous backup of the playlist.

Also, when I tried to AutoRelocate to with only as my media directory, the auto relocate feature finds some text file in the ~/Library folder. I have removed all media from my Dropbox folders.

Need practical thought is needed here.

Does anybody have a fix for this - i have all the files but the DB keeps saying all files exist. However i cannot do anything with them. i cant analyze, upload, download or export but i can play them.  they show under tracks stored on other devices but those devices do not exist. i want to point rekordbox to the files ( it wont see them if they are in dropbox under any structure ) find missing files returns ALL Files Exist. 

There must be a way to tell rekordbox the location has changed without that 14,000 tracks are currently useless. i tried backing up my collection with music but it does not export all music ( because the tracks on other devices you can do nothing with. )
