Issues with Dropbox File Provider on the Mac
I am writing this both on behalf of myself (personal pro account), but also a company I am director (business account). But moreover, as member of a large ongoing discussion with a number of other p...
Hi Everybody,
I can confirm that logic pro files are blocked from being used while File Provider is in sync provide. You can read more in this Help Center article about expected changes and incompatibilities with File Provider.
Our team is aware of incompatibility between File Provider and certain filetypes' ability to sync. If this changes in future updates to File Provider, we will be sure to let you know.
Thanks,
Ben
I don't use the Dropbox community for help but rarely. However, I recently inadvertently performed the upgrade to the new Dropbox for Mac that, according to the chat help advisor, is a required feature forced by Apple on third-party storage applications. If you don't know, this requires a relocation of Dropbox files on your main drive to the home systems folder, making them a bit harder to access, but most importantly, making an alias unavailable that I have frequently used on my desktop forever, in order to easily move documents around to Dropbox.
I've been told I can revert to the old version, but that that will eventually be problematic. In the meantime, I found a helpful article at this link (I'm not sure if security policy on this website will allow me to post it, as the chat advisor noted a companywide policy about unsecure links when I attempted to forward it to him, but here goes) https://tidbits.com/2023/03/10/apples-file-provider-forces-mac-cloud-storage-changes/
These changes will make me rethink about the usefulness of Dropbox versus iCloud storage. I like the flexibility of not having to have people link to my personal iCloud storage locations, regardless of individual file security, but maybe that's not an issue. I have some work to do, and the above article helps to clarify some issues for me. You might find it helpful.
