The new macOS Tahoe is arriving. Is Dropbox ready this time?
Will Dropbox be ready in advance for the macOS Tahoe update? Or do we need to wait and see what breaks this round?
We all remember the fun with the last two macOS releases - and “fun” is putting it mildly. Have there already been issues? Can someone please speak up - before it’s too late?
For now, I’m holding off the update.
Thanks.
I’ve just updated to Mac OS Tahoe and had no issues at all. That’s great, I’m really glad DropBox was ready this time.
😊👋🏼

Thanks for confirming. I’ll hold off on upgrading for now and will report back here if I notice any issues once I move to the new OS. It’ll also be helpful to hear from others who’ve already upgraded.
Dropbox isn’t fully optimized for macOS Tahoe yet, which is why you’re seeing crashes. Try reinstalling the latest version from Dropbox’s site and ensure system permissions are granted. If it still fails, you may need to wait for an upcoming compatibility update from Dropbox.
I wrote the previous message at lunch (I am in Europe) and when I went back to work on my AirBook later in the evening I noticed that the Dropbox icon was in the top status bar and everything was working as expected.
I have no idea what happened: I did not even reboot the laptop or anything. The only possible explanation is that for some reason it took a few minutes before the app became active after the reinstallation, so I had already left my home when the icon appeared.
For what is worth you can now ignore my previous message: Dropbox runs normally on Taohe across all my devices, now.- Neal

Hi all,
Thank you for letting us know. As you're all aware, these issues can arise with brand new OS releases.
Thankfully a fix should be live in the latest Beta Release if you all want to try installing.
Hi Walter, there is a new api that allows the new spotlight to search cloud files - is Dropbox going to implement this?

Brand new AirBook, installed Tahoe yesterday.
Dropbox does not autostart after restarting the Mac.If I try to run the app manually, it just opens a Finder session pointed on the Dropbox folder.
Reinstalled Dropbox from scratch, no effect.
I also have a slightly older Mac Mini, where I just installed Tahoe, it looks like on it Dropbox works normallyIt’s smart to hold off for now—Dropbox hasn’t confirmed full support for macOS Tahoe yet. Best to wait until they announce compatibility or early user feedback before upgrading.
Dell_Dropbox It repeatedly crashed without an error message. After reinstalling the Dropbox app, the issue disappeared.
