Smart Sync is default to online-only but not working
Hi all, In my Smart Sync settings, I have the default set to online-only. i.e. new files should be set to online-only. However, whenever someone adds a new folder+files to my shared folder, it selectively syncs to the folder and all files. I thought that it would show in explorer, but only in online-only mode... Thanks!

MacOS, high CPU usage by open directory, symlinks in Dropbox
Hi, I just wanted to share how I solved this high-CPU-usage problem. The short story is: delete all your symbolic links from under the Dropbox folder.
