Any luck?  I have a machine that I just updated to 10.13.4 and clicking "Allow" still does nothing for enabling the smart sync extension. 

 

EDIT: I was trying to do this via VNC to a mac that did not have a display, keyboard, or mouse attached.  Once I attached those items, I was able to click the "Allow" button.  Apparently you cannot click that button from a VNC session.  Lesson learned.

Yay it worked!! (I struggeled a bit to understand how to move on from the choice of reinstalling my OS but once I figured out how to open the terminal app it worked perfectly).

 

 Thank you so much!
