My Dropbox folder is empty on the Mac, but I can see my files online.
macOS Tahoe (beta 9)
I just noticed that my Dropbox folder on my Mac is empty! When I log in to Dropbox online, all my files are still there though.
I tried moving a file into the Dropbox folder...
None of the folders are selected, something have deselected them.
But it says "Only the selected folders will take up space on this device’s hard drive", which makes me worried that my drive will be filled up. However, there is also another sync setting that says "Only online". If those two statements contradict each other I suggest another wording in the selective sync dialogue.
I have checked some of the folders now, and they show up in Finder as they should, and it seems that they don't take any space.
That means problem solved and thanks for the help! Please change the wording on Selective sync though (I don't know how it's phrased in English, maybe that is correct). 🤗
Sounds like it could be tied to the new Tahoe beta changes — maybe the files are still online-only and just not showing up locally the way they used to.
