Dropbox Location Change on MacOS 12.6
Just installed DropBox update v157.4.4808 on a MacbookPro 13,3 running MacOS 12.6. DropBox location was moved by installer to ~/library/CloudStorage and alias moved from "Favorites" to "Locations" i...
Thanks for clarifying that for me OldMacGuy - much appreciated.
Full support for macOS 12.5 and higher has started rolling out. Broader availability will begin in November as we work to preserve the reliability and quality of our sync experience. You will be notified when youâre eligible enroll your other device as well.
So, in essence, this is an update to ensure that the Dropbox desktop app continues working seamlessly on your devices and what you noticed is actually part of this process.
We currently have a private beta, which will be more widely available in October. If youâre interested in joining, you can turn on early releases.
I hope this helps!
What is not clear to me is whether or not Apple is actually forcing Dropbox to move. They (Dropbox support) have not provided a reference. It would seem other apps have not yet moved everything to /Library.
So, itâs been REALLY quiet in here regarding this issue. Is someone from Dropbox going to step in to answer this very simple question? Is this permanent or not. Iâm ready to leave since Iâm getting no answer or explanation to whatâs going on. This is just not good enough. Embarrassing to be honestâŠ
Well, that's the end of me using Dropbox after 12 years. I need all my files on my 2TB SSD. I can't even make a total offline backup of my Dropbox anymore, this is bad security.
There's lots of other problems too. I can't seem to get Calculate Folder Sizes in the Finder anymore - Apple must restrict this in 'cloudstorage' area, even with a Get Info I can't see the sizes of folders - whether offline or online. Not useful when organising offline/online folders.
Yeah, Apple are controlling d*ckheads who constantly make my life a misery in the name of 'security' even though we all know it's in the name of 'we want you totally locked into our ecosystem like on the ipad'.` How dare they tell me where my data or my apps (Dropbox) should be stored. I should have gone with a PC that'll teach me.
But the fact that OneDrive seemed to have a work-round shows that Dropbox don't really care about Mac users anyway.
So OneDrive it is. Annoying though. I much preferred Dropbox, but they are no good to me now.It just gets better and better, this now happens about twice a day.
