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 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. I read that making a Unix symlink rather than a Mac alias might get this to work. Seems like a lame and inexcusable omission on Dropbox’s part. 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. This has improved productivity swimmingly on my various Macs.

To do this, I created a top level folder full of folder aliases in my Dropbox. 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. Now if only Dropbox for iOS and iPadOS would follow Alias folders, I’d be golden! It reminds me a little of Google Drive which optionally treats an uploaded file with the same name as a new version of an existing file. Regardless, I haven’t yet found a use for the desktop app in my Dropbox workflows.) If you don’t see the app in your Applications folder, your version of Dropbox probably isn’t up to date-mine claims it’s current at version 87.3.127. (What, you didn’t realize that Dropbox now has its own dedicated Mac app with a file browser-like interface? You can open it from the Applications folder or by clicking the folder icon in the Dropbox menu-bar app. If you were wondering, navigating to the folder in the new Dropbox desktop app and dragging the new file into the app’s window results in an error message. (The file name needs to be the same, obviously.) When you do that, Dropbox replaces the old file with the new one but does not change the underlying Dropbox link URL. Load the Dropbox Web site in a browser, navigate to the folder that contains the file you want to replace, and then drag the file into that browser window to replace it. Here’s the trick to replacing a file without changing its link. This is true regardless of whether you replace the file in the Finder or use Save As or Export from within an app. Dropbox will appear to sync the file, but since it’s really deleting the old file and replacing it with the new one, the underlying Dropbox link URL will change.
