Dropbox files are displayed in Spotlight's search results, but not in Alfred's file search results.ĭropbox settings Do you have it set to store files locally or cloud-only?: No such setting in Dropbox preferences, however all files are accessible locally without a network connection.ĭropbox folder path: ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox (not a symlink) Update: You also will need to add ~/Library/CloudStorage to Alfred's search scope for Alfred to index the files.Įxperiencing the same issue since updating to the Dropbox beta.
The -R switch says to do it recursively through subfoldersĭepending on the number of subfolders, this command might take a while, but you can leave the Terminal window open with the command running in the background while you do other things.
The ls command doesn't change files, but merely lists all folders/files Open Terminal and go to the top Dropbox/OneDrive folder, then run this command: This also makes the File Search Troubleshooter always yield positive results, because to test a file you have to first navigate to Finder, thus adding it to the Spotlight/Alfred index.Ī workaround that I've created, which appears to be working for the most part, is to run a small command in Terminal that forces all the folders to enumerate and therefore they get added to the index. Navigate to the folder and immediately Alfred has the file in its searches. Due to this, the "files" never make it to the Spotlight index and therefore Alfred doesn't show them. Any word when is planning an update? appears that Dropbox Beta and OneDrive (which also now uses Apple's File Provider API) the contents of the folder don't load until you navigate to that folder. Installed a bunch off apps on my new M1 MacBook Pro…and couldn’t believe this was the first app to require Rosetta… Doesn’t make sense that’s not yet native. Honestly, didn't think the reason to switch after 12 years of paid sub would be this but this might be it. The official responses in this thread are embarrassing. It could’ve been an okay solution, but a lot of people weren’t happy about its strain on the battery.ĭropbox doesn't support Apple Silicon natively yet and has no current public plans to. To run the app, you need to use Apple’s emulation software called Rosetta. However, some apps still don’t support it - with one of the most annoying examples being Dropbox. When your favorite applications support the native ARM architecture, the laptops are an absolute dream to use.
