I've used Dropbox for about a decade. I'm a full time photographer, my work routine will be to switch between working from my Mac Mini and my MacBook many times a day. For years, I just wait for the "✔️ Your files are up to date" before continuing work after switching computers.
I clicked "Update now" after seeing, randomly, a Dropbox update that said I was "eligible for the new Dropbox for macOS on File Provider". I've regretted it so much since doing so, as it's caused me an incredible about of frustration. I can't use my workflow!
- So many issues with syncing files, with no logical explanation.
- The file that I *need* to sync refuses to. There is a cloud next to it, even though I've set everything to be available offline. The cloud does nothing when clicked... I don't know what it means.
- Even though I've set it to make new files available offline, I've had so many 'online only' files appear.
I need to get things working the way they used to. Can anyone help, or am I better to switch to an alternative provider?
