Request: All files available offline by default
Moving the Mac to the new File Provider is great - very happy this is finally happening and support on the new M1 is much better. Kudos!
Feature request: Really miss the feature to have Dropbox...
Hi everyone, and thanks for your patience.
We're re-launching the option to choose the default status of synced files in the Dropbox desktop application (in the Preferences > Sync tab) for users of the newer File Provider version.
It should be available to you shortly. If you haven't received it yet, make sure to update your desktop app, and let us know if you have any questions!
I create a pdf using my phone using Dropbox, which uploads to Cloud. The corresponding folder on my laptop used to get the file. It would be seen by HAZEL then moved out to another folder and used for work purposes. Work flow worked great until I did the recent MAC upgrade that moved the Dropbox folder to the path user/library/CloudStorage.
I have given DropBox full disk access, the FILE is showing up in the folder, but showing as not downloaded. The online app shows the folders as synched. But the folder on laptop shows file as not being downloaded. As a result rest of workflow won't work. When I click on the cloud, it downloads and all works as it did before.
I have checked the boxes so all files will be downloaded.
Can't find an 'auto download' button that I might have missed.
Thoughts
Be careful with online only files. Apparently if you move them, the system will just completely delete the files off your system from Finder leaving you with a 0 byte placeholder and it doesn't auto download any online files before moving it. OneDrive doesn't do this. Just be forewarned.
