RE: dropbox not in icloud

Hi,

 

Earlier this week I uploaded the latest version of dropbox on my Mac. Dropbox moved over to the icloud successfully. However this morning there were errors messages on dropbox and after those issues were fixed dropbox no longer showed up on icloud. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling dropbox, rebooting my computer, and granting dropbox full access on my computer. None of it seems to work - dropbox no longer showing up in icloud and continues to show up in the old location where it was before I updated to the latest version for Mac. How can I resolve this issue?

  • Dropbox isnt, and never ever should be, stored inside another cloud provider service - doing so is a sure fire way to cause data loss. If you had it working like this previously it was almost certainly a bug. The newest version seems like its moved back to what it should be
