Re: Pause sync when on mobile hotspot

I was able to solve the issue using Keyboard Maestro which I have been using to automate a variety of other tasks. Using Keyboard Maestro it is possible to create a macro that will quit an application (Dropbox in this case) when a specific named network (my iPhone hotspot) is connected. I created a second macro to launch Dropbox when the hotspot is disconnected.
