Thanks for using Dropbox and helping test our beta build! Here are the user visible changes in v55:

Fixes issue where linking an account in headless mode on Linux would exit early.
Fixes issue where importing high efficiency photos could fail on recent macOS releases.
Fixes issue where “Don’t ask me again” on warning dialogs was not working properly in some cases.
Other minor fixes.

Hi dropboxers,

there are not only sophisticated high end beta testers here.

I´m only a dummy user and I´m sure that there are some others of my kind.

We would be glad to see at least some minor really visible - not only visible - improvements!!!

Suddenly, when I move files to subfolders in my dropbox, I get weird messages, asking me whether I really want to remove them from Dropbox. What gives?

macOS 10.13.6

Dropbox beta 55.3.167

From what I’ve seen thus far, everything seems to be working fine. Mojave 10.14 Beta (18A347e) on a MacPro5,1 and MacBookPro11,4.

Thank you. yes indeed, seems perfectly fine, just installed it.
That was not the case with the previous version (Mojave public beta 3)

I still have problems with the beta and 10.14 Beta 4 (18A347e) and MacBookPro9,1. It's syncing but nothing happens - it dosen't download any files.

Mads, I suggest checking your Privace settings (System Preferences -> Secutiry & Privacy -> Privacy). At one point or another, I remember getting prompts to allow such-and-such.app to control something-or-other (e.g. Finder). At other times, I could have added them manually. Anyway, on my system, Dropbox appears in these privacy settings: Contacts, Calendars, Photos, Accessibility, and Automation. I have all checked except for Photos.

Something to try, at least. I noticed that Mojave seems to be more strict with regard to security and privacy settings.

For a while, I could not create reliable clones of my startup SSD using Carbon Copy Cloner because Mojave required that the CCC helper file be added to the Application Data privavy setting. It was only yesterday, with the issue of the latest CCC beta that this became possible. Now I’m not getting an error message anymore when cloning my startup drive.

Greetings. I just began using the beta build 55.3.167 due to unexpected behavior after I installed the Mojave beta OS. My question: is the Dropbox Updater going to automatically "update" this to a stable build (which is what was giving me problems on Mojave)? Thanks in advance.

@workboy macos 10.14 isn't completely supported yet because it's still in beta. If you notice any issues, please let us know!

@Mads Ulrik S. Thanks for reporting that issue! We'll investigate it internally.

@artministry Yes, if everything goes according to schedule, the v55 build should be promoted to stable sometime next week. After it's promoted to stable, autoupdate will update everyone to it.

Did you move the files from outside of a shared folder into a shared folder? If so, I believe the message is there to warn you that the file technically isn't in your Dropbox anymore, it's in a shared space. If that's the case, then I can let the team know to see if they can make the message more clear.

If that wasn't the case, then it may be an issue that we need to fix.

My beta build 55.3.167 has auto updated to 168, so it’s good to know auto update is working. Dropbox also seems to be behaving correctly, syncing desktop files as well as mobile devices. I haven’t had a chance to verify in-depth but will do so and report back.

Hi Tony,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I have tried to check the settings, but Dropbox is only visibel in "Accessibility". It has auto update to 55.3.168, but it's still just spinning. Enjoy the weekend.

I think that everything works really effectively and I appreciate the team letting me try out the new beta g-mail. "

I spoke too soon. It did update, but is still erratic on Mojave. It’s either taking forever to sync, or it’s just spinning.

Tony A.

I’m wondering if the issues here regarding Mojave were fixed with version 55.3.168. Personally none of these issues came up in my system, not even with the first release of Mojave beta. From the problems described, they seem to point to a question of permission/ownership.

If they persist, I suggest posting your reports in the current beta version thread, where I might have a couple of fixes to try.

With stable version, choosing a diffrent location for dropbox folder crashes the app.. this beta version work fine

Thank you for reporting issues with Mojave. We are working on it.As Mojave is not generally available yet, we do not fully support it.
