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.
I have finally resolved my issue with non-functioning Dropbox in Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.5. My problem was a complete failure to sync, upload, anything and I tried all the suggestions here regarding finder integration, such as csrutil disable. None of that turned out to be my issue.
What finally resolved it for me was deletion of my Pro account and my Dropbox folder and starting over fresh. Perhaps this cleared a hidden cache? All is back to normal now.
