You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

MAC dropbox sync seems to be permanently paused.
On a MAC I have set the Dropbox offline folder onto a spare drive location as there is insufficient room on the boot drive. I have set the location permissions suitably (I think). I've ticked all the sync folders to auto sync. When I add files to the Dropbox folder anywhere they are never automatically synced. I can force sync if I go to Pause sync for 30 mins and then manually Resume. How can I get changes to automatically sync as they do on a Windows computer.

Is this the whole \Dropbox\ folder you have moved? If so it should work.
However, that said, Dropbox doesnt play well with external drives - it doesnt detect the changes as the 'flags' for this are done. If there not syncing you can either run a script to pause/unpause which will reindex it or move it to an internal drive.
Yes its the whole folder. Apart from the auto sync it works correctly. I don't know how anything about scripting - any clues?
