MacOS 12.6.2 finder integration with folder .photoslibrary

[erpaolo77]

I upgraded last version of DB on a 12.6.2 Monterey 

I had my "Libreria di Foto.photoslibrary" in dropbox folder, after the upgrade this folder wasn't accessible, neither sincable ... 

had anyone the same problem?

thanks

Hi @erpaolo77, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

As it sounds like you're on the new version of the Dropbox app for Mac OS, Apple no longer allows Photos Library to be stored over cloud-storage services.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

yes i upgraded to DB last version.
After the upgrading, even if all my files were in local, it deleted 50% of it ( ~ 350 Gb on 750 Gb ), and started to download them again. But it had big problem syncing files inside .photoslibary folder, it made also random copy of that folder. Anyway it seems to work removing the folder exaction. Another problem: it seems to restart syncing many files after each reboot ... also file synced before rebooting, ... i mean entire big folders, not a single file ...
Best

The official Photos library will be moved to your local directory, if it hasn't already. Regarding the syncing of other files, are these in random locations or is specific folders?

Thanks for your replay,

Once synced I moved the photolibray in local folder by my self and it works.

About syncing problem: it happens on random folders, but files and folders are in right location, it just re-sync every time a lot of stuff even if it didn't change.

Tell me if I can export some kind of log or report for helping you to understand.

Hi Paolo! I hope you’re doing well. 

Are you seeing the same number of files trying to sync every time you open your Dropbox app? Feel free to send me a screenshot of what you see when clicking on the small Dropbox icon in your menu bar, and I can also have a look. 

Besides that, what’s the current app version of your Dropbox app? You can locate this by hovering over the same Dropbox icon on the top part of your screen.
