Set all folders to "make available offline" on macOS
In the new macOS FileProvider API version of Dropbox, is it possible to recursively set all folders to "make available offline"? If so, does this setting persist for newly added sub-folders? I've r...
Yes, marking a folder as available offline will make all subfolders available offline as well, in perpetuity.
Can someone from DB please let us know why this was changed?? I have used DB for over a decade for all our business files precisely because I could have local files that were also synced but fully available whether I was online or not. But now the app silently removed this option with no notice. I accidentally discovered it.
Is this option going to be added back? After being a long-term customer this upgrade unfortunately is going to lead me to look for other options.
I agree. I am very disappointed in this DB move. Mac + DB was my dream set-up and DB managed to shatter it with a) moving the files to a different folder (which changes all the folder addresses I use in other files) and b) changing to online-only as default. (I am not affected by the external drive issue). Poor move, even more poorly communicated. Very disappointed.
FYI DB support told me if you go to the Dropbox folder and set it to offline using right click that will restore the old behavior because it applies to all subfolders.I *think* it is working for me but will have to verify over time.
Still I'm very disappointing in the lack of clarity on this and this option could easily have been kept as it was before instead of buried. Like you it was my dream solution for many years but unfortunately I may have to look for alternatives in the future.
