Syncing icons on the files in the Dropbox folder have changed
Hello The Finder Extension Icons indicating whether a file or folder is Online Only or Available Offline are showing up in my Finder, however, the statuses are incorrect. For instance a folder that ...
Hello,
I find the new Icon Setup useless.
I suggest to bring it back as it was before the Update.
I think the most important thing is to be able to know if there's a SYNCHED LOCAL File in a Folder, that is eaten your Local HD Space.
So the Grey Icon was super useful before the Icons Update. It showed that there were no SYNCHED file in the Folder.
Now the Grey Icon shows me if there ìs at least one Online-only file in the folder, but olso if there anything else (Synched full green, or Half green file in the folder). It's Basically useless... because the important thing is to know if there's some file left that weight on Local HD.
The best solution was that GREY Icon tells me that there is NO LOCAL SYNCHED file in the folder, so I know that the files inside that folder is Only on CLOUD, since the most important thind is managind and knowing witha a glance if there's some Local file in a folder.
Now I dont know at first glance if I have some local file in every folders... i have to open all the folders and look inside. Thant's vary bad Update.
Is there any chance to make it back as it was the Synch system?
Thank you
Hey Guys,
Although I 100% support rollback of this feature I did find a small workflow thing that can help find those unwanted local files now hidden it "online-only" cloud icon folders.
If you right click on a folder on a cloud icon folder and it offers the dropdown menu option to "make online only" there are offline files somewhere in that folder structure. This option will disappear if its actually all online only.
It still sucks but at least if you have deep file structures there is a way to see at a higher level where local files are hiding. Like the previous system did... really well...
