Dropbox StaffStable Build 147.4.4800
Thanks for using Dropbox! The desktop client is regularly updated with many improvements and fixes.
Features in this update:
Backup settings have been turned on for all users.
Right-cl...
the stable version is still useless on Mac OS 12.3 😩
Nope, still no smart sync feature on Monterey 12.3.1
Used it on Apple M1 Macbook Air.
Right clicking in Finder on any of my Dropbox files shows the feature: Make online or offline available.
Which kinda works... However, smart-sync worked WAY better with Adobe Software.
It instantly downloaded any file linked in a project. Guess that's why they call it smart-sync.
We need Smart-sync fixed Dropbox!
My understanding is that Smart Sync has been replaced by the new right click actions.
"Smart Sync actions have been renamed to “make online only” and“make available offline”"
This is a quote from a Dropbox article in a beta section which this forum won't let me link to.
If you are seeing that I assume your Dropbox folder location has moved to ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox which surprises me a bit, as I thought only beta builds were doing that.
I am having same problem with Monterey 12.3.1. but on Intel MacBook Air - please go back to the smart sync system (if indeed it has been replaced), I need the visual reference in my dropbox folder of what is on my hard drive and what is online.
