![]() Wanted to mention that I like for this type of setup - could be a possible alternative to dropbox if you need one. I use Sync for keeping a 2TB drive synced between my house and office (audio editing), and dropbox for archival/file delivery. I have another synced drive using and it appears to be working normally between 2 Ventura computers. Maybe downgrading your version of dropbox will help? Maybe you can migration assistant an older version onto your new system? I'm on v1 with no issues. Luckily it seems like Dropbox will prevent itself from updating to the new (bad) version if it detects its location as an existing external drive. I have about 10TB on dropbox, on an (obviously) external drive, and I just upgraded to macOS13.4.1 from 12 with no issues. I think the issue is with setting up a new computer with dropbox on Ventura. This definitely seems like an incoming bummer, but so far hasn't affected me. I'm hoping this thread can gain a bit more traction and we can find a solution for this issue soon. Regardless, we're currently looking to find a solution through another cloud company, but we'd like to avoid that as much as possible (we integrate pretty heavily into dropbox's ecosystem right now) ![]() This allows the user to sync their files onto an external drive, and the local path simply references the files in the external storage. They essentially have a "cache path" in the local directory that has the full folder hierarchy, but with what I assume is only ghost files (that take up no storage space). I'm hoping that Dropbox can have a fix for this soon similarly to what OneDrive has already done. There's no way that we can sync that to an internal mac drive, and we can't switch off of MacOS because our software is mostly Mac exclusive (i.e. We have around 24TB and growing in our dropbox right now, and most of it is synced offline onto external drives. It sucks :/ Maybe someone will make a workaround, but it seems to be coming from Apple and could be tricky to fix. Dropbox would work on a secondary drive, and if you had Apple critical software you could still access it from a VM. Apple's EULA says you can only run it on Apple hardware, which you'd be doing. Another solution could be running it in a Windows or Linux VM.but then you run into the issue of easily accessing your files from your OS (ie, if you were using Final Cut and wanted to continue working on a project it could be tricky).Īnother idea, you could wipe the OS, install Linux, then install MacOS in a VM. You might be able to wipe the machine and put on an older OS, but since DB updates automatically at some point it would probably break if it would work at all. Solution is to dump Apple unfortunately - its closed ecosystem encourages this kind of bs. To see how much space you've already earned, and to get more:Apple is doing what it can to kill Dropbox on its platform, and Dropbox isn't pumping massive amounts of resources into its products to counter it. How to see the free space you've earnedĭropbox has lots of ways to earn free space.
