Dropbox macOS 11 Big Sur Problem: Finder Integration and Smart Sync
Dropbox version v110.3425 in macOS 11 is not showing integration in the finder menu. It is also not showing smart sync notifications in finder windows. Anyone else have this problem?
- Thanks for the added info MartinL1!
Could you please try the following steps:
-Click on the Dropbox icon
-Open your Activity Monitor from your Mac Utilities folder
-Search for "Dropbox" in the search bar, and click the "x" on the top left, to force quit everything related to Dropbox
-Re-start Dropbox from the applications folder by double clicking on the Dropbox application
-Click on the Apple icon in the top left of your screen
-Click on "force quit"
-Relaunch the finder
Thanks!
I downloaded and re-installed the dropbox app. The account had to re-sync but it is now showing smart sync status. Try that.
I downloaded and installed v110.4.458 but still no finder intergration or contextual menu options for Dropbox.
It's back now, but I needed to remove all components manually and install from scratch. A simple re-install wasn't suffice.
@devilsinkpot, can you pass on what you did to remove all the components? I dragged Dropbox from the Applications folder to the trash and reinstalled with a download but that didn't work. Perhaps also deleting the folder ~/Library/Application Support/Dropbox?
Same issue here. After installing dropbox again, the second time it worked.
Urgh, I'm not looking forwards to having to do that
This problem was recently resolved on my MacBook Pro with Dropbox update v112.3.247. I am running macOS Big Sur Version 11.1 Beta (20C5048k), and Dropbox should also work on the standard public release of Big Sur. Hopefully this can close out the problems reported in this thread.
