Pictures 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.)
"Send Feedback" is broken
When I click "Send Feedback" in the Dropbox menubar icon, in order to file a bug report, the app makes my web browser open: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-for-macOS-12/cmp-p/grouphub%3ADropboxforMacOS12 which redirects immediately to: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-for-macOS/cmp-p/grouphub%3ADropboxforMacOS12 which then gives me this error: Dropbox v189.3.8308 macOS 13.6.2 (Ventura, ARM)Updates on Backup Beta — When/if does it become a permanent feature, or any known issues?
I'm a longtime Dropbox user, went thru the process of the legacy backup solution on my primary Windows 10 pc, and after initial problems it has been stable for literally years now. However, for other computers in my household I would rather avoid creating a non-standard pc, i.e. leave the system files (documents, desktop, etc.) in their default locations. I have installed Backup Beta on one W11 pc, and so far no issues. My question is when will Backup Beta be deemed a permanent part of the Dropbox family? I understand the company probably can't give an exact date, but sometime in 2023? I'd rather not become dependent on it and have it radically changed or cancelled. Also, what are the recognized issues with Backup Beta, i.e. bugs? Richard (Edited by moderator to remove personally identifiable information perDropboxCommunity Guidelines)
