The “new” location for Dropbox files has been in place for many months if not longer. Their software does the move for you, one-time.
But, please ask Dropbox Support, or read their documentation. This has nothing to do with Scrivener, nor is it in your best interests to use Dropbox beta software with production Scrivener writing.
partly has to do with Scrivener especially for iOS,
no worry
As long as this is your thinking about your problem, you won’t solve it and no point keep asking here, IMHO.
It actually doesn’t have anything to do with iOS Scrivener. iOS Scrivener talks directly to the Dropbox server and doesn’t know (or care) where the projects are on your Mac.
Mac Scrivener talks to the Mac OS filesystem. So it cares where projects are located, but it’s not responsible for communications between your Mac and the Dropbox server. Those communications are entirely up to the Dropbox software.
So if projects are failing to transfer between Mac Scrivener and iOS Scrivener, the first thing to check is to make sure they’re getting from Mac OS to the Dropbox server. Have you read the article in my previous post?
yes and I follow your indications strictly…
my problem can be that having two macs with different processors (intel and Silicon) perhaps Dropbox (argh @rms !) behave differently… and send messages like this “Your Dropbox folder contains some file types that are not supported” which is not true and of course that I will deal with Dropbox assistance…
it was simply to know if somebody already had my or similar experience, thanks a lot!
Very unlikely.
Get Dropbox to help. Read their documentation about file types.
For a while I used Dropbox to Sync between silicon and intel Macs with no problems. There is nothing in Scrivener on either platform which affects how the files are sync’ed between them.
Thanks to you all!
I’ll do my best then I come back
Long Life L&L!
I’ve had problems with Dropbox on a Mac mini M1 and MacBookPro M1 where the mini is hard-wired to my network and the MBP uses that same network’s WiFi. If the external network connection fails then the mini takes ages to reconnect to Dropbox and initiate syncing but when the MBP loses all WiFi connections and once reestablished Dropbox resumes immediately. Had long protracted support calls to Dropbox but their reps were all as useless as a chocolate teapot.
Try: reboot your router. If i am reading your symptoms correctly Both ethernet and WiFi use the same connection to the internet so a mystery why one works better than the other. Also compare in detail the differences in all network settings on the two machines (DNS, DHCP, network mask, etc.)
Can’t do that! It’s a production environment with commerical contacts (i.e. paying customers) on Zoom/Teams/etc calls.
All the TCP/IP settings are identical because they are setup via DCHP from the router.
The problem only manifests itself when the router goes down. which turning off the router would make worse, or the external connection is lost. I suspect that Dropbox on the wired connection is encountering a time race over the re-establishing of the connection and it backs off (permanently). A work around is to reinstall the macOS extension again again.
