Dropbox support for macOS 12.3
So I'm referring to https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/macos-12-monterey-support
Does this mean it will be 100% safe to upgrade to macOS 12.3 as long as I keep Smart sync to Loc...
You can never ever say its 100% safe - simply because you'd be using a Beta OS and also a Beta version of Dropbox. However, it should work well, but, be cautious of the fact it is beta at all levels.
I know previously at last minute notice Apple have changed how stuff worked in beta versions meaning stuff which used to work no longer did when updated to the next release so thats also something to be aware of.
I complained about this problem for more than 6 months.
The dropbox is not working for m1 macs.
Any adobe application can't open previous off-line files. That's makes impossible to work.
IMPOSSIBLE.
So we have a lot of computers that we can't use because dropbox is not working. And that issue is not new.
Support is always saying that is working to correct, but nothing is done.
And we are still paying for a service that is not working.
Please be clear to the clients. It will work or not? Or we need to look for another service to use?
STILL on OS12.1 because of all the potential issues I'm reading about, but really need to at least upgrade to 12.6 now.
I have an M1 iMac and an intel MacBook Pro that are my main machines than I need to sync seamlessly, and a ton of shared folders with clients that I don't want to lose. I use mainly Adobe apps.
I don't have files on external drives, so not too worried about that issue, and I can live with the smart sync issue, if I can at least open online only files through the finder. The majority of my files are live on one machine or the other.
Given all that how safe if it to upgrade, and is there any reason to only go to 12.6 or might I just as well go to Ventura?
johnhalldesign May I ask how the upgrade went? Did you lose Smart Sync?
Is opening files through the Finder workable? Thanks !I only went as far as 12.6.1 but went pretty smoothly on both my Macs. I did lose the ability to open files through Adobe apps, so if I open an InDesign file, and any of the links are Online-only it won't find them or will give me an error. Kind of a pain, but usually if I'm gonna work on something, I'll just make the whole folder local first anyway, so as long as I do that, it's not too much of a hassle.
It didn't seem to move my Dropbox folder yet—am not really clear on how/when that happens—so I think that hassle is still to come.
Good luck.
I am in the same situation. I updated to macOS 12.6 because of security concerns.
A tip for InDesign: Mark all missing images in the InDesign links panel and open them with the macOS Preview app. That somehow triggers DB to download the missing online only files.
just go to ventura then. same issues in 12.6.1 as 13.0.1 for now.
