    • Fixes issue where importing high efficiency photos could fail on recent macOS releases.

        From what I’ve seen thus far, everything seems to be working fine. Mojave 10.14 Beta (18A347e) on a MacPro5,1 and MacBookPro11,4.

      Hi dropboxers,

      there are not only sophisticated high end beta testers here.

      I´m only a dummy user and I´m sure that there are some others of my kind.

      We would be glad to see at least some minor really visible - not only visible - improvements!!!

      Suddenly, when I move files to subfolders in my dropbox, I get weird messages, asking me whether I really want to remove them from Dropbox. What gives?

       

      macOS 10.13.6

      Dropbox beta 55.3.167

        Did you move the files from outside of a shared folder into a shared folder? If so, I believe the message is there to warn you that the file technically isn't in your Dropbox anymore, it's in a shared space. If that's the case, then I can let the team know to see if they can make the message more clear.

         

        If that wasn't the case, then it may be an issue that we need to fix.

    Greetings. I just began using the beta build 55.3.167 due to unexpected behavior after I installed the Mojave beta OS. My question: is the Dropbox Updater going to automatically "update" this to a stable build (which is what was giving me problems on Mojave)? Thanks in advance.

      workboy macos 10.14 isn't completely supported yet because it's still in beta. If you notice any issues, please let us know!

       

      Mads Ulrik S. Thanks for reporting that issue! We'll investigate it internally.

       

      artministry Yes, if everything goes according to schedule, the v55 build should be promoted to stable sometime next week. After it's promoted to stable, autoupdate will update everyone to it.

        My beta build 55.3.167 has auto updated to 168, so it’s good to know auto update is working. Dropbox also seems to be behaving correctly, syncing desktop files as well as mobile devices. I haven’t had a chance to verify in-depth but will do so and report back.
