Can't Drag Files to Dropbox Folder in Catalina
Hello,
In catalina I am no longer able to drag files in finder into the dropbox folder. The selected object just sort of springs back into place and will not enter the Dropbox folder.
I get the same issue. Catalina 10.15.1. I set up a shortcut on the finder Sidebar. I drag a file into a dropbox folder and release it and it bounces back.
I checked all of the finder extensions etc and all checks out, and otherwise DB is working fine.
This bug definitely puts a crimp in my workflow, so looking forward to seeing if there is a fix.
Hi everyone,
At this thread beginning was noted a possible permission problem as a reason. I read everything up to here, but haven't seen any try, somebody to check for (or fix) eventual "pain source". Just some statements, that not a permission problem but nothing more. How is this confirmed? :thinking:
Did you have try fix possible permissions issue in Dropbox folder, like below? If somebody didn't yet, try following:
sudo chflags -R noschg "/Users/$USER/Dropbox"
sudo chown -R "$USER" "/Users/$USER/Dropbox"
chflags -R nouchg ~/Dropbox
chmod -R u+rw ~/Dropbox
Will be ask for your password (sudo). Note: where Dropbox directory is used as a command's argument (either "/Users/$USER/Dropbox" or "~/Dropbox") replace it with actual path on your machine, if need (I have used the default path & name for personal account). If you moved and aren't sure about exact Dropbox directory place(s), take a look on the following command result:
cat ~/.dropbox/info.json; echo
Take a look on field "personal.path" and if it's a business subscription also on field "business.root_path".
Execute all commands in sequence (line by line) in terminal. If some error brings up, stop there and post the terminal content in a code block (</>), together commands & results (including error messages), exactly as appears, so "the picture" could be figured more accurate.
Hope this gives right direction. :wink:
