Re: Using selective sync in dropbox?

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

Re: Using selective sync in dropbox?

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?

Re: Using selective sync in dropbox?

At the moment, you can’t. Or at least, VoiceOver does not tell you the state whether the folder is checked or unchecked. Please report it to the dropbox support so perhaps they will actually do something about it. They definitely are aware. That has been broken for quite awhile. > On Jun 8,

Using selective sync in dropbox?

Hi folks. I've been trying to figure this out. On the windows side of dropbox, you can check, and uncheck, the folders you don't want synced to your computer. I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the mac side. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

Ray, basically you just use the space bar alone rather than using VO-space. I think that's the sticking point for most people. I reported the issue to Dropbox and they said they've forwarded it to the engineers to look at. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

For anyone that's interested, it seems Cheryl's method works for the root directories of one's Dropbox folder, but not sub-directories. At least that seems to be how it's working for me. Unchecking sub-directories somehow un-checks the main directories, which results in me needing to re-check

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

It's true that I never bothered about checking and unchecking subdirectories; I've basically kept everything on a single level so that I could quickly access any directory without nesting. But yes, for those using a lot of subdirectories, this could be a problem unless there's a way to uncheck

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

Hmm, thanks for letting me know, Phil. I think it's beyond my scripting ability, for now, but I'm wondering whether mouse keys might give me some results, if it's just essentially moving the mouse over to the left a little as you say. Anyway, either that or sighted assistance. Thanks for your

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

Hi. We ought to contact dropbox about this issue. I love dropbox, but it is not the most accessible program I have seen. Best regards Annie. Den 30/08/2014 kl. 08.28 skrev Nicholas Parsons mr.nicholas.pars...@gmail.com: Hmm, thanks for letting me know, Phil. I think it's beyond my scripting

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

Okay, here is what I posted about this a couple of months ago. I have been busy and haven't been reading this thread so I apologize if this has already been tried and no longer works. It isn't ideal but it is doable if it still works. You have to do this blind, but then what else is new - grin!

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

That's brilliant. I never thought of abandoning the VO commands and just using spacebar. I'm going to try this although I don't really want to change my Dropbox too much. Thanks a lot. By the way, is the quick nav part really necessary? Or could you just do it without quick nav I wonder. Sent

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

Thanks, Cheryl. That certainly seems to be the key. I tried that but somehow I must have unchecked a lot of boxes inadvertently (despite being very careful), as after Dropbox applied the changes I lost most of my folders from this Mac. I've now tried to re-check them and am now waiting for

Re: Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

Nicholas, I've been doing this for a while now and I'm afraid it is not doable via VoiceOver. It's one of those things that definitely require sighted assistance unless you really want to go crazy with some kind of script or other obscure method. There are checkboxes to the left of each folder

Setting Up Selective Sync with Dropbox for Mac

I can access Dropbox's selective sync preferences, but can't seem to adjust them. It says that only checked folders will sync to this computer, but I can't seem to uncheck any folders. There's no checkboxes. I've tried pressing VO-Space, clicking with the TrackPad, simulating a click with
