How can I use an alias on Mac OS?
Because all the threads and mentions of Mac alias issues are long out of date here, I thought to ask again. And, in fact, aliases on my Mac (and in fact between my two Macs) have worked perfectly up ...

Hi baldoyler13, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
In general, Dropbox doesn't support aliases, symlinks or junction points to other locations.
As the aliases were working up until now, this wouldn't have been expected, so we wouldn't be able to provide much more information on this matter.
I'll leave this thread open for other users to contribute their suggestions.

Thanks, Jay. It’s worked perfectly for me since (checks email) 2011! so a shame if it suddenly stops working now. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that someone knows the solution.
