Dropbox StaffHi there, euiow, thanks for taking the time to post to our Community.
We really appreciate your comments on this macOS on File Provider situation.
I will make sure to pass your feedback along to our team.
If you have any questions, let us know.
Have a great day!
I noticed that the Scrivener Tutorial.scrivx can be synchronized to Windows, but Tutorial.scrivx is also just a package, so I hope the textbundle can also be synchronized to Windows.
I am so glad I did not opt in to this, and hope that I never have to. Scrivener packages on windows are .scriv FOLDERS, on macos they are treated as PACKAGES. if dropbox uses the file provider and downloads the scriv folder/packages as a single file, I am afraid this will render them unreadable on windows! And dropbox, for me, is used with the entire intention of sharing between mac and win file systems for writing. this update would appear to break that severely. I know it's not forced for now - but I am worried it will be at some point and that would be rather bad until or unless dropbox cross converts for windows. OR if flat-packages are made readable by windows :S
Thanks
