Problem with Blender 3d and MacOS Beta

Hi   I just updated to the MacOS Dropbox BETA on Monterey 12.6.3, and it all seem to be working perfectly, except for a problem with Blender 3D 3.4.   Blender seems to use a non standard file...

    Hey peteratdrome, thanks for reaching out to us.

     

    Since your Dropbox folder is now in ~/Library/CloudStorage, there are some things you need to know about this version of the Dropbox app.

     

    Specifically, when it comes to some third party apps, might need to be allowed access as seen here, so that you can use them properly.

     

    Let me know how it goes.

Hi DanielXYZ! Do you mind sending over a screenshot of what you see exactly on your end? 

 

Let me know when you’re ready.

Hi Nancy, thanks for the swift response. Here a screenshot of the system settings.
In the blender interface for saving or importing files, Dropbox does simply not appear.

    Thanks for that, Daniel! Appreciate it. 

     

    Have you restarted your computer, since the update took place?

     

    Is Dropbox still not showing as an option after that?

     

    If not, what’s the OS version of your device?

      I did a restart, no change. The OS is Ventura 13.0.1
      You can also ask more questions if that helps to speed up the process 🙂

        Perfect. What I’d like you to try next is to go to Privacy & Security -> Full Disk Access, click the + button, and select the app (Blender.app), which would give the app access to all folders including Dropbox. 

         

        After that, I want you to follow this filepath ~/Library/CloudStorage and see if you can access the Dropbox folder from Blender now.
