#Dropbox for mac latest version update#
Dropbox describes these and its other Sierra woes here, and blames Apple for the way that it “has implemented iCloud”.ĭropbox’s advised solution is to update to the latest version of the Dropbox software, to move Dropbox back to its default location, rather than in the Desktop or Documents folder, and to disable iCloud notifications. If you use iCloud to sync folders which are also used with Dropbox, then you will see spurious error messages and/or confusing sync icons on dropbox. The latest update to Dropbox now apparently copes with this in its stride, and behaves better: when installing Dropbox, it now asks your permission to obtain Accessibility, which is what it should have done all the way along. Phil Stokes has confirmed that Sierra blocks this by putting that database within SIP protection.

However, early indications are that Dropbox is not getting on so well with Sierra in other ways, and has a bug which can lose your documents.Īs I explained previously, Dropbox software ‘hacks’ the Accessibility database in a very suspicious way, in order to give it access to your Mac.
With recent revelations of how it abused an internal database in OS X, we expected Dropbox to have some problems when macOS Sierra blocks that misbehaviour. Note: this article has been updated as of 1 December 2016: please read my update for the latest situation.
