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!
Where is the "Dislike" button?
The answers are consistent - we can't use alt drives for dropbox. This is a CORRUPTIVE "feature". See following...
I had an alias down into my Dropbox (and placed this alias into the finder sidebar) before it got moved. However, now that the Dropbox got moved, my alias is no longer pointing to anything in the active Dropbox space. Worse yet - I've been saving files (using my alias) for at least a month and just now discovered this alias no longer syncs with my moved-Dropbox anymore! Now I have two different locations of duplicated (yet different in versions) files all over the place!
WHAT A MESS!
How can I fix this? Or should I just delete Dropbox and go to Box or something else?
I had Dropbox from its earliest days and paid for a 2TB plan. I've now cancelled Dropbox because it has become worthless due to the location change (lack of support for external drives) and the fact that Dropbox has also become intrusive (almost malware like) to the MacOS system itself. The MacOS "Screen Capture" function has been taken over by Dropbox, despite me having said "NO" to using Dropbox as its destination. The only way to restore the default "Screen Capture" mode is via using the Terminal application. I now use Sync.com. A little slower, but that is because, unlike Dropbox, it uses end-to-end encryption.
