Please revert the new screenshot "feature" on MacOS, or at least give us the option to do so.
Hi, can you PLEASE revert that new Screenshot "feature" you added in MacOS. Previously, it was possible to simply drag and drop a Screenshot into Finder or Photos right after it was taken. Now, your stupid popup shows up and drag and drop doesn't work. This worked PERFECTLY in the past and there was NO reason to touch this functionality. Why are you taking this feature away from us???
Sync results under "Your Activity" show yesterday's synced files not today's.
I can see syncing occurring with the dropbox notification icon on the Mac. When I look, syncing runs. When it completes, instead of showing what was just synced, it only shows files synced the previous day under the Yesterday heading. Those synced today or moments ago ought to show up under the Today heading, but nothing ever shows there. To be clear, the recently synced files do not show up under Yesterday, either. This seems like a bug. Because dropbox sometimes takes time to get around to syncing on the desktop, I need to be able to check if it recently synced any files. This behavior of never displaying recently synced files in the Your Activity list is disappointing. The image was captured mid-day, less than 10 minutes after syncing a dozen files. Note that Yesterday heading shows files underneath. The Today heading shows none of the files just synced.
What's the actual issue with Apple FileProviders API
I'm trying to reply to this post https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101001016/dropbox-on-file-provider-support-for-macos-questions/781551/replies/783389 but in a dropbox fashion "Replies have been turned off for this discussion": billgdbx can you explain exactly what is the exact issue with the Apple FileProvider API for a software engineer? What exactly does "download-on-demand" mean compared to the download now button I see in macOS finder? When I briefly read the API docs, it seems like the API should be enough; however, I've read many blog posts mentioning that the problem lies with Apple and not with Dropbox/Google/Microsoft. All these posts are blanket statements without any technical details. I'm looking for the hardcore facts, not opinions. I want to know whether I should consider ditching apple? Or dropbox? If there is an issue at apple's side - I want to know what it actually is so I can make my own decisions rather than being treated like an idiot and a fool. In my experience, dropbox announces all breaking changes to customer as ultimatums without any true explanation. Now that I think about it... it is actually coming from disrespect and even contempt to your customers.Newest/Oldest/Most Liked sort on Dropbox Forums Doesn't Work
I have been talking to tech support about an apparent bug, which has caused quite a few back and forth. As a result, because the default sort for thread is show Oldest posts to Newest, I've had to click the Show More button a lot. With increased posts, I also had to click View Full Discussion. So I tried to change the sort to Newest. Doesn't work. Oldest, Newest, Most Liked... nothing happens. Seems like an easy bug to reproduce. I am using Safari 18.3.1 on MacOS 15.3.2. BTW, I tried to insert a link to your web site that resembles this one (I put a space in it now so it shows), but even though I used your chain-icon button to add it, it says it is invalid. It was not. This appears to be another bug. This link will take you to one of your forum posts that demonstrated the issue: Copy and remove the space. https ://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101001016/sync-results-under-your-activity-shows-yesterdays-synced-files-not-todays-/829814Quitting the transfer window: "Your Files Are Ready To Send" window quits Dropbox on Mac
I think this is new behavior....and maybe, this could be a cause of what some of us are referring to as "quiet crashes" where we notice that the dropbox app is no longer running or showing on the menu bar...on a Mac. When I perform a transfer-a-copy of a file, and it brings up the floating "Transfer" window, and then I complete that process of confirming the file, and then choosing to copy the link, that window will continue to float in front on my mac. Command-W does not close that window. Also, when that window is active, and the front-most window, the computer still indicates that the Finder is the active app on the menubar. Now, I can close that transfer window by clicking on the red "x" button in the upper left of the window, or I can press command-q on my keyboard but THAT QUITS DROPBOX! I think that THIS is potentially what has been problematic of lately. I don't recall this being the behavior in the past. Why is command-q "quitting" the transfer window causing Dropbox App on the menu bar to quit and shutdown? As I said, when the transfer window is active, it does not indicate to the mac that it is part of dorpbox in that it does not populate the options of the mac menu system. The active app is not Dropbox etc. I have been using dropbox for a long time, and I do not recall this being the behavior of closing the transfer window with command-q and it shutting down the whole DropBox system.
