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)."
I find deeply unfair that this 'figuring out' is crowdfunded through our time. It is a system update, not the Doomsday - I fear that letting consumers fend for themselves is a choice, and cheaping out on due diligence is the beginning of the end for DB.
acbc You seem to think that all you need to fix a bug is to roll out an update. The update has to have bug fixes, and bug fixes depend on figuring out what's causing the bugs.
Yes, letting customers fend for themselves is a choice. The alternative is to pay for more programmers, which would really be the beginning of the end for DropBox.
The choice depends on how many users are actually unable to use Dropbox because of these bugs. If it's only a few, the bugs have low priority. If it's a big share of their customer base, you can be sure they will be working hard to find fixes for the problems.
