No option for "make online only" when I right click my files
I have a professional DropBox account and I'm working on a Mac, OS 12.5. I have several files that are sync'd locally that I would like to move off my hard drive and make online only. When I right-click on the folders, however, I'm not getting the option from the drop-down menu to make the files online only. Any suggestions? Thank you!Solved9.9KViews2likes50Comments
Dropbox folder bounces in the dock on mac
Dear Friends, I hope someone can help me. I am using mac. Since the last update (when Dropbox folder was moved to a new location) I observe the following behavior. When I edit files with TexShop, Dropbox folder in the dock starts bouncing, similarly to what happens with dowloads folder. I presume that some aux files during the compilation of I am using a Mac. Since the last update (when the Dropbox folder was moved to a new location), I have observed the following behavior. When I edit files with TexShop, the Dropbox folder in the dock starts bouncing, similarly to what happens with the downloads folder. I presume that some auxiliary files during the compilation of LaTeX get purged, so Dropbox (or Mac) is trying to bring my attention to that. Disabling folder animation as well as turning off bouncing of all folders from the Terminal with: defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool TRUE did not help. Is there a way to stop the bouncing? Thanks a lot.5.5KViews1like6Comments
Mac Finder will not search Dropbox
When I do a search from the dropbox folder, it offers the option to search "this Mac" or "dropbox", but it will only respond to "this Mac" - I then get a search of all the hdd, including files in the dropbox folder. My files are NOT only stored online in DropBox. They are physically on my Mac. I'm running macOS Ventura 13.0.11.9KViews1like5CommentsHigh memory usage on Mac M1
Hi, I've just installed my first M1 iMAC and entered the Dropbox beta program. I need to add that I run an Intel base MB Pro in parallel and I've entered the beta program there as well. So far everything went fine, Dropbox runs Apple nativ and functionality is as expected (well known from the past). Checking memory usage on the M1 Mac made me wondering. 7,4GByte!! After rebooting the machine it came down to 750Mbyte but nearly a day later its up again to 1,5Gbyte and is constantly increasing. On the Intel MB Pro, everything fine and smooth. Memory consumption around 700Mbyte & constant. Does anyone experience similar memory issues on M1 MAC's?Solved3.9KViews1like21Comments
