Thanks for the screenshots, aakhmetz!
Out of curiosity, could you let me know if the desktop app or your Finder opens when you follow the steps below?
- Click on the Dropbox icon next to your computer's clock.
- Select the folder icon that appears on the top of the menu.
Let me know how it goes, thanks!
i have exactly the same issue. If i click the folder icon like you ask, the finder is normally opening.
the issue is that dropbox changed the screenshot notification from "Open in Finder" to "Open in Dropbox" We want the "open in finder" notification back.
Same issue here. It really annoying to have something that works great change. It was a feature I really liked and used a lot. What is the fix, if any?
