Old Laptop with Old Dropbox-- how do I transfer files?
Hello Hive Mind! I recently fired up my old laptop (OSX 10.9.5, late 2009) and I cannot transfer files off of it. I have tried gmail, messages, airdrop, apple mail application, old flash drive... the works. Then I noticed that I had an Dropbox icon. It has Dropbox v1.1.35 and had my hotmail email as the account. It looks like it is working on the old laptop, and I uploaded a 253 KB .png file. However, when I go to my current laptop, and log into the browser Dropbox, it appears that I had to make an account with the same hotmail address. And I cannot find my files in the browser Dropbox. 1) Is v1.1.35 hopelessly outdated and should I just give up? 2) Do you have any suggestions about how to transfer these files off of my old machine?
Move large files from Macbook to the web. The operation stops when the Mac goes to sleep.
These steps allow the Mac to run all night moving the large files. Go to System Preferences on the Mac and choose the "Battery" icon. Find the "power adapter" and set the control to prevent turn off when the Mac goes to sleep.
Remove "available offline" in finder under folders and files
Hello, Does anyone know a way to remove the “available offline” phrase in Finder under files and folders? First of all, the phrase seems completely useless considering it can be there along with the cloud icon that indicates that a file/folder is not actually offline but needs to be downloaded to be opened. Second, this useless phrase takes away the ability to show item info in Finder. I used to be able to see the number of files in a folder, the resolution of a photo, or the file size (if it’s an archive), but for some reason, Dropbox thinks that “available offline” is more useful than that. I am surprised I could not find anything on this. It seems like I am the only one concerned with this issue. Maybe there is a simple toggle somewhere in the settings that I am missing. Unfortunately, today I found out that your files can be marked “available offline” but still be in the cloud, and that is a deal-breaker for me. However, my annual subscription just renewed, so I’d like to find out how to remove this annoying “available offline” phrase and see my file/folder info until I find a replacement.
Native macOS Dropbox App vs. Maestral
I stopped using the native Dropbox app a couple years ago because it was so resource intensive. I've been using Maestral since to view and sync my Dropbox content due to lighter footprint. I have a M3 MBP with 36 GB memory, running macOS 15.1 (Sequoia). Any feedback with use of current native Dropbox app? Happy with use and performance? Thank you.
