Can't access Dropbox folder remotely after migration to new "Secure" location
My situation is I have a Parallels VM to run a 32 bit application with it's data file external and shared on the host machine.
Ever since Dropbox moved the file to the Library folder and left a...
Hannah,
The DropBox folder was in the default location and is now in the new default location, so completely vanilla.
No special sharing is done.
Although superficially complex the actual simplified version is that using Apple Remote Access (ARA) I could before the move see the files by sharing the disk using the user id of the host but since the move:
1) ARA can't resolve the new DropBox alias
2) When I navigate to the new library folder ARA sees the DropBox folder but when you open it it is empty.
This the issue is that since the move ARA no longer has access to the data.
As noted I have alternate method of seeing the files so it's not a show stopper - more a ....Uh?

Dropbox StaffHi Shawn G.2, unfortunately this would be outside the scope of our support.
You'd need to have access to the library storage of the other profile for this to work, and we can't guide you with this.
Megan,
May I politely point out you miss the point, I *am* using the host userid (account) the issue is that via ARA with that account then the the DropBox folder contents are invisible *but* all other files in the Library folder are fine. I.e. there is something specifically different with the Library DropBox folder than all others Library folders when using ARA.
Regards,
Shawn
