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.
Hi. Mac user.
Goal: use Dropbox to sync files between work computer and home computer, keeping parallel structure and files saved locally on both machines, and availability to download to phone or iPad as needed. Be able to run backups e.g. TimeMachine. Local storage is important to me. Being able to keep a backup on an external drive is important to me.
I had this set up - was fine. But got a new MacBook and ran the migration assistant: now all my dropbox files are online only. 🤨
I see a setting in the preferences to save *new* files locally, available offline - but I want all my files to be saved locally, and available offline.
Where is the button I can click that will make all of my files download so I can keep a backup copy?
And why does Dropbox keep trying to "help me" by putting my files in a place where I can not keep backups, or access them in the event of any kind of server or internet outage?
I do see that I can go and hit download on the 106 folders I have and 171 files living outside of folders. But can I do this all at once, and will this result in local folders and files that will sync?
