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.
Funny Issue. I have Dropbox, Synology Cloud Station and Google Drive present. I won't disable SIP, since it is way more important to me to have a protection of vital system files than to have the icon in the sidebar.
Dropbox used mach_inject which won't work since SIP was introduced. But since 10.10 there is the Finder Sync API which should work with SIP enabled. My Google Drive icon isn't there either, so Google seams to use the same method.
Disabling Google Drives Icon integration doesn't fix it for me. But restarting Dropbox and Finder, after Google Drive has been launched, does, at least for a while. It seams the two integrations match each other in a way. Cloud Station didn't make a difference in my tests.
This issue is something the development team of Dropbox should have a look at. Disabling SIP is a crutch, not a fix.
