Happy Monday guys!
Thanks for keeping us updated, and for sharing your finds with the Community. I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.
If you need anything else, let me know!
Just read through this whole thread... So do I have it right that the only solution at this point is full disk access?
If that's the case, where does the "real" fix need to be done? (Apple or Dropbox?)
Thanks!
Jasiu - everyone will probably have different opinions on the answer to your question. In my case, the situation was initiated by Dropbox moving itself to "a protected location" on the boot drive of my MacBook Pro. So my opinion is that Dropbox is responsible for the ultimate resolution. And granting Full Disk Access to Safari is not, in my opinion, the solution.
As I think about this situation, it occurs to me that I don't understand enough about "the protected area" where Dropbox moved now resides. If that is the case, educate me (us). Explain where Dropbox moved to and why. What are the advantages, the side effects, the restrictions? It obviously affects our daily interactions with macOS, knowing more about it would help. BTW, thanks to everyone who contributed to this conversation. All of our comments helped lead us to this point.
