What is this 'cloud only' icon?
I have a file in my Dropbox folder on my Mac that has a "cloud only" icon next to it (see screenshot). What does it mean? It's not one of the icons mentioned at https://help.dropbox.com/sync/macos-sy...
bri_guy yeah totally on your side here. It's super unstable and not really transparent what it's doing. I was able to make this setup process a little bit faster:
Workaround I found:
When I first only choose one little file to be synced on startup I will get way faster to moving everything to the new directory. After moving this one small file I can then move on to syncing all the files with selective sync and everything will be set up directly in the new cloud storage. Saved me around 20-30 Hours of waiting.
Solution - How I would expect it to be:
I would expect Dropbox on a blank install directly setting up everything in library/CloudStorage which will save a lot of time and also get around a lot of communicative problems prior to the setup.
Can you check if your version is uploading files from the finder correctly? Thats also not working for me right now.

Yes, uploading is working for me. I just created a file, put it in ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox on my Mac and confirmed that it's visible at dropbox.com.
