You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
How do I mirror my entire Dropbox to e.g. an external hard drive?
Would would be great: rsync -a my_drop_box/ /mnt/big_disk/ username: bob password: ****** ... I don't expect it to be that easy, but I also don't want to install, configure and babysit the desktop client (if I can help it). I did seedbxclibut it's old and "unofficial", but if that's what I want I thought I should ask here first. What is theeasyway to accomplish this? I don't have a computer with a big-enough disk, but I do have USB drives that are big enough. Can I do this simply?
Can't select an app to open just a single file
On MacOS, I want to set the application that opens an individual file, but not all files of that type. Outside my Dropbox folder, that works as usual, but inside it,when I go to "get info", and then change the "open with" app, I get a pop up that says "You don’t have permission to change the application for this document only. Do you want to change all similar documents to open with the application X?" I've done this many times in the past, including with the same file type and app in my Dropbox folder, so I suspect it has to do with the move to the File Provider API. I'm an admin, and I have read and write permissions on the file. It's a .md file that I want to open with VS Code.MacOS v13.0 (22A380), Dropbox v190.4.6383, Dropbox Plus.
