    Apple recommended something I should have thought of... Safe mode.

    sudo spctl --master-disable

    I then rebooted the Mac into safe mode and opened the Security panel in System Preferences and clicked the Allow button.

    The Blocked message cleared from the Security Panel and Smart Sync was active and operating normally when I rebooted.

     

    Issue seems resolved.

    Hi monaronyc and others,

    The issue reported with the preferences not loading the right screen / not being able to enable Smart Sync is an issue we're actively investigating right now.

    I hope to be in touch with an update shortly.

    Many thanks for highlighting.
