Dropbox macOS 11 Big Sur Problem: Finder Integration and Smart Sync

Grynn · ‎04-28-2021

This seems to have worked! Meaning Finder Integration came back and preview is able to open 'smart-sync' files again.

Thank you!

For future ref:

1. Kill all dropbox processes

In Activity Monitor, select all Dropbox process and Force Quit

2. Restart dropbox

3. Restart Finder

Unfortunately it didn't work for me.

Hm - this solution didn't work for me.

Do you have other suggestions?

running: Big Sur 11.5.2, Mac Mini 2018, Dropbox v129.4.3571

ooh! THAT works very well - i'm wasn't used to Big Sur's "finder extensions" pref pane, but now I know to look there in the future.

thank you!
