If I ran a script from the desktop, the problem occurred with the first line that ran a shell script that (for example) copied a file stored inside the applet that line produced an “Unexpected token near position 0” error (or something similar I’m writing from memory). Thinking this backup might be a good idea, and not reading the fine print, I clicked Yes, and then a lot of my scripts stopped working. Apparently this system is in beta, and is offered only some setups, and my new disk triggered the offer when Dropbox recognized that I was using a new disk and required me to log in and set up Dropbox on the disk. I tried setting Backblaze backup to 'on demand backup' instead of 'continously', but there were no changes.After transferring my Catalina system to a replacement SSD, Dropbox offered to setup a new system that backs up my Desktop, Documents, and Downloads folder. But the files from iMac are not 'picked up' - like it wouldn't detect the changes?įor what it's worth, I'm running Backblaze backup on Mac, but that's about the only difference I can think of. If I add a file on a Macbook, it syncs to iMac and I see a notification. There are no Sharing context menu items present (they are on Macbook). If I pause and resume, the file is uploaded immediately.Ģ) The finder integration is different on iMac than it is on Macbook. When I add a file (or change it), Dropbox does not upload it. But it does not sync my files if they change or get added. I even unlinked the computer and linked it again.ġ) Dropbox sync my files if I manually pause syncing and resume syncing. I tried reinstalling Dropbox several times, restarting the computer and removing /Library/Dropbox* and ~/.dropbox/* files. I have the same OS setup on a Macbook where it works fine. I'm running Dropbox version v96.4.172 on Mac OS Catalina (10.15.4) - iMac.
