![]() ![]() Partly in response to Taking Control of your Digital Legacy, I decided to make my most important folders, many of which are deeply nested, more accessible. To do this, I created a top level folder full of folder aliases in my Dropbox. This has improved productivity swimmingly on my various Macs. The problem is, on my iPhones and iPads the Dropbox app doesn’t follow those aliases so they’re useless and I’m forced to navigate slowly and painfully all the time. Seems like a lame and inexcusable omission on Dropbox’s part. I read that making a Unix symlink rather than a Mac alias might get this to work. I have not tried this but I’m also nervous about trusting my most valuable files (and the backup and sync thereof) to a technology that macOS hasn’t exposed. Has anyone tried this and had success with it?Īs of mid-2019, Dropbox no longer follows items outside of your Dropbox account that are linked to by a symlink The problem is that that sentence is, in my experience, simply untrue: Dropbox has been following the ten symlinks in my Dropbox folder and syncing the folders they point to since mid-2019, as it has for years before that. Most of the ten are in daily use, so I’d have noticed any sync failures very quickly indeed. see my previous post: my test doesn’t match what they or you are reporting. The symlink I created in my Dropbox on Mac A pointing to a file also in Dropbox on Mac A synced to Mac B as the target file itself: not in the target file’s location, but in the place on Mac B where the symlink was on Mac A. So, I just did a fresh test, and sure enough the behavior has changed. Not surprised, since Dropbox can’t seem to decide how they want this to work. #Share large files dropbox crack archive#.#Share large files dropbox crack for free#. ![]()
