In the past few days, a few times a day, I’m getting this prompt from Dropbox:
I know we get this when first setting up sync, but is anybody else getting this regularly lately? I click “Allow” but then get it again a short while later. I don’t know where to look for troubleshooting - Dropbox, my network connection, or DEVONthink.
I did recently start using Arc as my default browser, so perhaps that has something to do with it.
If the popup doesn’t appear in the browser, no. It doesn’t. Your browser is responsible for displaying HTML documents. It has nothing to do with sync or local permissions.
Do you have a Dropbox sync?
Unfortunately macOS sometimes “forgets” permissions. I have seen that and have confirmed the issue via internet searches. No reliable fixes but i have noticed doing a cold restart from power off helps the system “remember”. And keeping up with current versions of macOS may help
Yes same here, I saw several popups over the last days/weeks. Since I’ve ‘allowed’ these popups have gone away for a now.
Do you mean the settings set up with Dropbox as the sync store? If so, yes. I’ve had this setup for quite a while, and these prompts only started in the last few days. The good news is that since my last “Allow” of the popup earlier today, it hasn’t come back. Fingers crossed. I’ll do a restart tomorrow morning, too.
No. It is macOS permissions, as I stated. I am pretty sure nothing to do with Dropbox or DEVONthink setup other than these macOS permissions need to be granted, and apparently macOS “forgets”.
Perhaps contact Apple Support for assistance.
Example report elsewhere:
Did you update macOS or anything else lately? The last DEVONthink 3.x update was in February. But maybe it’s a new behaviour/bug of Dropbox.
I don’ think so – I am still on Ventura 13.6.7. No worries, I thought I’d chip in here but the messages haven’t caused any further trouble. Syncing is still fine.
Let us know if it recurs. If so, please hold the Option key and choose Help > Report bug to start a support ticket.
I am also suddenly getting these regularly (despite allowing when I notice). My Dropbox sync setup has not changed in ages.
How frequently does this happen? Only on the Mac or also on iOS?
As far as I can tell, every time DT opens. Only on the Mac.
I’ve been getting this occasionally and yesterday I got one on iOS for the first time.
