Desktop access without syncing.
Hello. I see it mentioned a few times previously, but am wondering if there is any active development on a way to access Dropbox files from the desktop without either syncing or using the web app...b...
This thread is YEARS out of date Andrey - Dropbox themselves have been doing it now for awhile. Its called 'Smart Sync' which you can read about https://help.dropbox.com/desktop-web/smart-sync
OK so the helpful people at CloudMounter said I needed to instal FUSE
"- install FUSE for OS X: https://osxfuse.github.io/
- enable the "Keep extended attributes" option in CloudMounter preferences."

Hope this is helpful.
