Dropbox has been working on a beta which moves the Dropbox folder from $HOME/Dropbox into $HOME/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox, which has been causing compatibility issues for some people/apps.Well this has apparently gone out of beta and we are now being "encouraged" to upgrade.For now the update isn't mandatory, but we are being "gently" encouraged (by way of an annoying red notification dot) to upgrade. However I wouldn't be surprised if one day that upgrade becomes mandatory. Wondering if BBEdit's Application Data folder syncing will play nicely with this change, or whether there will be problems.

There is no problem updating Dropbox; BBEdit will manage the location correctly. (But make sure that you're running a suitably recent version of BBEdit.)
