Lost Finder Integration in OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)
Hi,
since a few days it seems that I have lost the Finder-Integration in OS X 10.11.
Synchronization works fine, but I'm missing the Dropbox-Icon (in the sidebar the folder looks like a regular f...
I had the same issue and was able to get overlay icons back using by doing this:
- Completely uninstall Dropbox. I used Clean My Mac but you can do it manually using these instructions https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/41 Do everything in the 'For Advanced users' section.
- Do not move Dropbox folder to the trash
- Download and install latest version of Dropbox
- Re-login to Dropbox and if you had only certain folders selected to sync redo your Selective Sync settings.
- Save settings
- Relaunch Finder Option+Right Click Finder icon in Dock > Relaunch
Hope that helps.
Bought a new macbook pro with El Capitan and lost all the green icons when I installed the Dropbox app. Here is what worked for me:
Log out of Dropbox
- Go to System Preferences > Extensions
- Highlight Finder and Uncheck Dropbox Finder Integration
- Reboot
After rebooting the green icons were back in finder and Dropbox Finder Integration was already checked again.
