You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Dropbox is no longer capable of downloading files automatically.
The update to V175.4.5569 has broken Dropbox for me (MaxOS Ventura). My workflow is to put dozens of GB of raw images onto dropbox, and then edit and organize them on one of two different comput...
The issues started after Dropbox moved to ~/Library/CloudStorage in the update last week.
My workflow is to use Dropbox like a server — I upload 20-50 GB of images onto one device in a Dropbox folder, and previously, they would be available on the other device within a few hours without much intervention from me. The syncing issue now is that Dropbox won't download my files locally without a lot of babysitting and monitoring the device. And on top of that, I can no longer see the status of how much is left to download, or if it's even still downloading.
It will eventually do it, but it no longer will download large batches of files automatically if I just leave it. Showing me an icon for a fake file that isn't downloaded (and isn't downloading) is not helpful.
I have rebooted several times.

Can you please click on the Dropbox icon in your menu bar, then on your initials/profile pic, then on "preferences" and then on "sync" and send us a screenshot of what you see there?

Hey kmccauley, sorry to jump in here and thanks for your patience while we checked this with the team.
This should be fixed in the 177 version of the desktop app (it's not out yet), so make sure to keep the desktop app up to date.
I hope this helps!
Thank you for the response, I look forward to that update
