No matter what settings you choose, the new file browser and corresponding Dock open every time Dropbox starts. You have to change the setting because Dropboxs new app automatically switches the default from the Finder to Dropboxs new file browser.īut you have to do this every time you restart your Mac, or every time Dropbox restarts. That way, if you click the Dropbox Menu Bar icon and then click a file, it opens in the Macs native file manager instead of Dropboxs own file manager. You can fix the other major problem by going into Dropbox settings and choosing Open folders in Finder instead of Open folders in Dropbox.
Ive had it for more than a month since I somehow ended up in Dropboxs Early Access program. We wrote about it last week when Dropbox started rolling it out to more users. The company built its own file browser to replace whats already available in the Mac Finder, and it opens that new file manager every time Dropbox starts. Its going up to 158 next time I get billed, in February.) Its worth it to me because Dropbox still works great, while the alternatives have always been unreliable or disappointing in other ways when Ive tried them.ĭropboxs syncing and file-sharing features are integrated with the Finder (the Mac file manager), and theres a little icon in the Macs Menu Bar at the top of the screen for when you need to change a setting. Im not going to stop using DropboxIve been paying the company 138 a year for 2TB of storage and for 12 months worth of file history, which saves all deleted files and revisions to files. If my computer restarts or if Dropbox restarts, the new Dropbox window that I dont want pops up in the Dock.
If youre not familiar with Macs, the Dock is the line of applications on the bottom of the screen (or the side, if youve moved it in the settings) and serves the same function as the Windows Taskbar. I dont blame the individual support repsDropbox the company needs to make sure its employees are prepared to answer user questions, especially in advance of major changes that will inevitably lead to a rise in user complaints.
