New Files Not Downloaded Locally (Mac)
Starting last week when dropbox automatically moved the dropbox location on my mac I have an IFTTT script that places a file in my dropbox That file stopped getting downloaded to my local folder ...
You can, in theory, make a directory available offline (Right click on Finder, then "Make available offline"); however, that does not seem to work with new files created remotely (note: changes to existing files will on the other hand get sync'd just fine). If your IFTTT script does _not_ create new files that frequently, then this workaround might be able to help new files frequently; otherwise, we will have to wait to hear back from the community (in the meanwhile, I have opened a support ticket asking the exact same question).

- Oh that’s pretty bad.
Also they don’t put this in any of the app info screens when they “upgrade” you so how are you supposed to know any of this?
Not the best move that Dropbox have made!
So even if I make the root folder to Dropbox appear offline it won’t automatically sync new files? Seems like either a massive bug or a massive regression in how a cloud storage app should be working.
