Compatibility with Dropbox macOS File Provider changes?
I've been getting prompted for weeks/months to apply an update/upgrade on my macOS Dropbox install: https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-support-for-expected-changes Among other things, it changes the Dropbox location to ~/Library/CloudStorage which will surely break some local tooling I have and can probably be resolved by symlinking it back to ~/Dropbox. Are there any other concerns with applying this update other than the logical place all the files live?
Dropbox not syncing?
I've made a few file changes in Dropbox that the client is happily picking up but for some reason Blot doesn't appear to be syncing so my site isn't being updated. The status page doesn't show anything and neither does the dashboard. Anyone else seeing this?
Change to directory name in Dropbox > Apps behind the scenes?
Is anyone else seeing that the directory in Dropbox > Apps is no longer named Blot, but is now named with the site name? I don't know when this changed, but could cause some issues for hard-coded scripts if folks have any of those. My dashboard still shows the following, but this could just be a bad artifact from the change. I don't mind it, personally, but thought I'd ask and surface the change here in case it caused any breakage for users: Dropbox > Apps > Blot
Phantom menu links?
Overnight, I've had for extra links appear in my menu named "page one," "page two", "page three", and "page four." They link to nothing. I have 3 actual pages in my Pages folder - Tenets, Colophon, About - all of which show up. I also added a link to the home page through the dashboard which also appears There are 5 image files in the pages folder, all prefixed with and underscore. So... not sure where those are coming from? Where should I look to remove them?
A quick way to find the source file for a post on my site?
Is there an easy way that when you I visit a page on my Blot site - I can quickly find and open the original file in my folder, via say Dropbox?
Why can't I connect to Dropbox or Google Drive?
I just signed up and I cannot get Dropbox or Google Drive to connect. It gives me an error on both as soon as I try to connect.
Does anybody know of a good way to syncronise an iCloud folder with a Dropbox folder?
Blot connects (so far) only to Dropbox as data source. Some writing tools I work with only connect to iCloud. If I want to continue working with both, I would need a sync solution between an iCloud folder and a Dropbox folder. Does anybody know of some online services doing this?
