Switched to Mac File Provider API version (174.4.5852) - now continually "syncing 6 files"
Hi! Hope someone can help me. Amongst the many problems with the new Mac FPAPI version, this one is a deal-breaker and I can't seen to figure out what's going on...
My otherwise idle system cyc...
Yes. I had to do that because the upgrade wrecked my file system and resulted in corrupted and unreadable databases. The Dropbox file system changed the data format of the databases. It looked like Dropbox had unlinked or corrupted the File System Object. In any case, potentially 30 years of data lost. Luckily I had backups prior to the update and could rebuild the systems on localhost.
I cycled through many service desk staff who only copied and pasted solutions, even after I had said not to post solution x, y, and z. Finally got the escalation I demanded after weeks of wasted effort and spoke to an actual person, only to be told the "engineers" were working on it. Yet the same problems are emerging, so apparently there were no bug fixes in subsequent releases.
Downgrade to an earlier system and *do not use* the backup function.
Or better yet, transfer to another and more reliable storage service, as I am doing.
Thank you, that's what I did but with the help of users, one Saturday morning wasted.
