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.
Dropbox Mac Beta: Green Circles are gone - everything has the cloud symbol
I am assuming work is being done in the background, but as of a few days ago, I no longer have green circles for downloaded (available offline) files. Everything has a cloud symbol (that symbol doesn't even exist in the online documentation) but seems to be available offline. I am also getting lots of sync errors - but my files appear to be still on my computer (where I need them). And yesterday the DROPBOX icon disappeared from my sidebar (Locations). Only to show up again hours later. Strange. What is going on? These sync irregularities seem to be quite substantial. Syncing files is what Dropbox is all about. I am a little surprised this beta version was even released to the public. When I joined the beta, the email I got from dropbox made it sound like the final release was imminent.
Grey X on all dropbox files
Hello Earlier this week, I reinstalled dropbox as to include my professionnal account aswell. I decided to go for smart sync as to save storage on my computer. As such, I uninstalled dropbox, and reinstalled its latest version and logged my professionnal account and linked personnal account. There seem to be an issue however, as I cannot access a single file on either of those 2 accounts, and when opening a folder, all the files of that folder finish with a grey X on the bottom left corner. When opening a file with Word/Excel/Photos/... it just freezes and I am never able to open the file. All files stored on my computer directly (not on my dropbox), can be opened without issue; but I can't move a file from my dropbox to my desktop, as this freezes aswell. Seems there is some kind of sync issue, but I was not able to fix it, despite spending hours on all similar topics. My dropbox app is running, but seems not to be able to sync those 2 files (stuck for hours) Any help would be greatly appreciated
