Mac OS Sequoia is arriving. Is DropBox ready?
Hi everyone, who remembers the chaos that happened last year with the Mac OS Sonoma update and all the issues we had with DropBox? There was a particular version that caused syncing to go haywire. I ...
There is an update, see https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-support-for-expected-changes.
If you still have trouble, disable the firewall. https://9to5mac.com/2024/09/19/security-bite-macos-sequoias-filewall-is-disrupting-security-tools-and-more/ says most users should not enable the firewall:
"Details are sparse at the moment, but a possible source of the issues is Sequoia’s current firewall. This is useful for managing connections on untrusted networks. If you’re an everyday user and not a security nut or part of an enterprise team, your firewall is likely already off. This is the default on Mac, as most users are on trusted networks anyway (Apple’s way of balancing usability and security)."
It's been two weeks, and still no news. What a way to treat customers, honestly. I understand a misjudgment can happen once, but twice? It can only mean that Apple users are not a priority for Dropbox.
cloudres: I have some knowledge of system debugging. It's not a simple problem. There seem to be at least two issues here, as some people here can get Dropbox to work by reinstalling, while others have to disable the Firewall, and a few seem to have tried both without success. Don't expect a quick fix.
