Beta build
2 TopicsSyncing data stuck for weeks (beta M1)
I use Dropbox on two Mac M1 machines. 459 files do not sync (stuck in this state for >2 weeks). Problem: I don't have access to my recent files. As a small business owner, I can't rely on having access to the data I need if taking my laptop with me. Further, I often get error messages: either a) unable to start dropbox at the start (starting it manually, yes) b) file not found if I open pdfs in preview. The second time I clicked on them, they opened after a long time - while I marked them all for download to the machine. I think about transitioning to GDrive if there is no fix for this. I need to rely on the basic function of Dropbox and pay for this, but it does not work with the beta anymore. What I have done: *quit dropbox * restarted the machine * deinstall dropbox + restart + new install5x >> same problem additional info: I use Dropbox private plus Dropbox folder /Users/USER/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox Use of latest beta version (installed months ago, should have indexed by now 😉 Machine M1 Pro 2021 M1 Max 32GB Ventura 13.2 (with Dropbox problems) Machine M1 Pro 2021 M1 MacMini 16 GB 1TB Ventura 13.2 (without Dropbox problems)Solved2.7KViews0likes10CommentsPictures Backup feature broken in latest macOS beta
Updated to the latest macOS 15 beta and the Backup configuration I had for Dropbox (to only backup ~/Pictures) seems to have been disabled. I don't see that folder in Dropbox.com anymore either - appears that the files all got wiped from the cloud storage as part of disabling the backup. It is just a backup so not horrible (photos are still in iCloud), but obviously can't depend on the backups if the cloud also gets deleted. But maybe I'm missing something. I tried to re-enable Backup for the ~/Pictures folder, but I get an error message that it couldn't be setup. So not sure how to proceed. Understood that betas will have bugs, so this post is more of a heads-up, or check if anyone knows a workaround. My biggest worry is that disabling the setting on a Mac seems weird to just wipe the data from the cloud, unless the user is asked (hopefully more than once.)273Views0likes1Comment
