I can't upload files to Dropbox from my Mac
What the hell is going on here?
I can't upload anything from this shared folder anywhere using your useless app.
When I look at all my files locally, they say 0kb. It seems like the only way to upload files from Dropbox is to upload them to my computer first??
WHAT ON EARTH IS THE POINT THEN???
You are aware that there's no need to do this on Google Drive, right? I just synch the files and it downloads them as they are needed.
Why should I have to have two completely unnecessary versions of a file in order to actually be able to work on it? That completely defeats the purpose of having cloud storage in the first place.
I cannot believe this is how the system is supposed to work - what am I missing here?

Hi adamford, thanks for messaging the Community.
Could you clarify exactly what you're experiencing on your device? Are you not able to upload files from your computer to the Dropbox site directly, or when downloading files from the site to the computer?
Is the Dropbox desktop application installed and instead files aren't syncing in the Dropbox folder?
Any other info or screenshots would be helpful.
