When will the MacOS Update be forced on users to move to Users/xxxx/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox ?
The new MacOS update that moves Dropbox to Users/xxxx/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox is causing a massive issue as all the excel files that are linked to other Dropbox files now no longer work as the l...
- Ok so I downgraded by simply uninstalling Dropbox (removing old Dropbox folder after that) then downloading fresh and reinstalling.
Now I ignore the upgrade message that pops up to move all files to cloudstorage folder
Spotlight is working and so is finding files in finder - Dropbox online customer service are genuinely hopeless individuals who’ve probably never used cloud services before (perhaps at the most basic level)
Dropbox customer service are useless - this new version has fu**ed my entire system.
Spotlight doesn't work, searching in finder doesn't work, they've ruined it,
How do we downgrade to the last working version?
This is the truth. Not being able to search contents and through the finder makes this version of Dropbox worthless for Mac users.
i cannot even believe they think this is acceptable behavior
Absolutely terrible way to drop a bomb on long term users that have thousands of file/folder references to the standard (old) location.
I really hope a smoother option (sym links) or something can be used. They also do not explain their rationale for doing this. I am also very steamed about what I understand to be that after the migration, all files will be defaulted to "offline"... this is ALSO a huge problem being imposed upon users.
I'm so ticked off right now...... thankfully I HAVE NOT YET taken the Update and will hold off as long as possible in hopes that all of this user feedback will force a rethink or better solution. What a nightmare... (Excel links, Paper Links FCPX Libraries, production team sharing/upload system) all will get massively impacted to the tune of HUNDREDS OF HOURS trying to find/sort out the issues. Not fun...
