Problem accessing dropbox in the MacBook terminal.

[jercosta1]

Is anybody having some similar problem? I'm using MacBook Pro Mac OS Sonoma version 14.1.2. Everything works fine in finder but no in terminal.

Thanks for posting on our forum, @jercosta1! 

Can you send over a screenshot of what you see exactly on your end? 

Let me known when you’re ready.

I'm ready.

Hi @jercosta1, we've not heard of any reports similar to this. 

Are you certain that the Dropbox folder is located there? On Mac OS, your Dropbox folder might be located in the CloudStorage location.

Hi @Jay

It is true. The Dropbox folder is now in  ~/Library/CloudStorage. However, I could not figure out how to access the files via command line in a command terminal. Is it something not possible anymore?

Accessing files via the command line isn't something we fully support. However, since your Dropbox folder is in the CloudStorage location, are you not able to reach that location via the command link?

Since when? I'm having the exact same problem. I *can* however view the files in the CloudStorage folder of my GoogleDrive account.

I fixed it. The issue is the extra layer of security in macOS.

In my case, I'm using iTerm. 

Settings-> Privacy & Security -> Full Disk Access

Turn on iTerm
