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.
this is what dropbox replied to me for this issue. really???
Having had a further look into what you are describing, it would appear that the problem you’re experiencing is caused by your OS, not by Dropbox. We’re unable to provide support for third-party apps or services.
The best way for you to get assistance with the problem is to reach out to the company that makes the OS for support.
Should you need anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to assist.
IFS=$'\n'; for path in `python -c $'import os\nimport json\nfor key, value in json.loads(open(os.path.expanduser("~/.dropbox/info.json")).read()).items():\n print value["path"].encode("utf-8")'`; do echo "$path"; xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "$path"; doneThat code worked for me in Terminal.
Yeah, apparently it's a bug with Catalina, not a Dropbox issue. There's a huge bucket list of issues with Catalina, no audio volume keyboard control through certain external monitors, no option for CUDA Nvidia drivers, no option for OpenGL/OpenCL, no option for 32bit app support among the peskiest for many creatives. Those issues have no hope, at least this is something that can be fixed with a simple Terminal command.
