I'll attach a mostly blurred screenshot below to show this.

However, when I go to this same view in Terminal (or in Dropbox in the browser), all of my files/folders are visible. With the exception of "Test Folder," which I just created, nothing is visible. However, none of those files/folders created before the update are actually visible in the finder window in that folder.įor example, in the below screenshot, you'll see what the Documents folder in the backup looks like in Finder. All file paths to documents within the Documents folder that I can locate in terminal look like this: ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/My Mac (Computer Name.local)/Documents/FileName.ext. Here are four screenshots that I think will explain the issue pretty clearly. Hi before this update, I'd been using all three folders with the backup turned on.

Please let me know if I can provide any further information to help diagnose this problem. So, here are my questions: How can I make these files/folders visible again? More importantly, is there a downside to working with Backups in this way? I'm not totally against changing the way these work (I can accomplish similar workflows with shortcuts after all), but I want to make sure my Backups are maintained. It's possible I've misinterpreted something here, so please let me know if you know better, but that was my understanding of the reason for moving files with the update. That's how I've worked with it for many years, and I suspect that the latest update doesn't like that very much because the update said something about separating Backups from Sync entirely. I can make changes in the user folders and see them reflected in Dropbox folders. Right now, the Downloads and Desktop folders in my MacBook user folder are synced with folders of the same name located in "My Mac(.local)". Here's how my file structure works (I have a feeling this has something to do with it, and this may well be extremely suboptimal by Dropbox's new standards): Like most MacBook users, I work out of three main folders: Documents, Downloads, and Desktop. Unfortunately, I don't believe it's as simple as Hidden vs Not Hidden because I have Finder set to show Hidden Files, and they are still not appearing there. However, upon closer inspection, I looked in my Documents folder with Terminal, and my files are actually there, but they are not appearing in Finder.

When the update was complete, my Documents folder appeared empty, and I was very confused. Unfortunately, not all of my files wound up where/how I expected. For whatever reason, Dropbox decided all of my files needed to be moved upon the newest update. I recently updated Dropbox on my MacBook Pro and instantly regretted it.
