Being that you can't assume that the only valid path for the info.json is contained by ~/.dropbox, it might be better to do a search for dropbox.pid, which has the same somewhat-unique name in each folder, and negotiate the paths to the info.plist files from that.

And the paths in the jsons are to the actual location, not the location of the symlink.

On my computer, I have 2 dropboxes, and there are 2 hidden folders, each containing its own info.json, along with other items.

~/.dropbox and ~/.dropbox-Team/.dropbox

In my case the visible Dropbox folders are located on a non-boot drive, and have symlinks as ~/Dropbox and ~/Dropbox-Team.
