RE: Using selective sync in dropbox?

2019-06-10 Thread hermanfermin

That is a temporary work around. That is not an acceptable solution though. 
Please don’t let dropbox tech support lead you remotely to that as a possible 
solution. Especially when you are able to do this independently on other 
platforms.

 

I would start the process by asking for an update regarding this since as of 
six months ago, it was escalated to engineering for a fix. In the meantime, 
Phil’s suggestions if you don’t want to wait for Dropbox to get back to you, 
are absolutely doable.

Isn’t there a “select all“ button somewhere in that selective sync screen? I 
believe we all had a workaround about this where you could simply select all, 
and then go through the list hitting on the ones you don’t want to sync. 
Another potential workaround is to use Be My Eyes app. People there would love 
to help you know which folders are selected and which aren’t as you move down 
the list and select and deselect folders.

On the windows side of dropbox, you can check, and uncheck, the folders you

I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the mac side.

Re: Using selective sync in dropbox?

2019-06-10 Thread Michael Busboom

Hello.

I have been wanting to selectively synch specific folders, but not others, for 
a long time, too.  Is there a specific person at Dropbox to whom we can address 
this question, or should we just use supp...@dropbox.com 
, provided that email address exists?

Thanks,

Mike
