dropboxfindermacos
I just updated to Yosemite, and now I cant access newly added files through the dropdown menu the Dropbox icon in the toolbar provides.
Previously it was possible to reveal a newly added file in finder if a file on the dropdown list was pressed(See picture) But now nothing happens!
Am I the only that has this problem?
Have you tried downloading the latest version of the Dropbox software (which can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/install) and reinstalling on your Mac?
To do this:
OS X 10.10.2 now has graphical upload progress bars:
When things get stuck, or you have a slower upload, there is a brctl tool that ships with Yosemite to monitor changes in all iCloud backed documents. Open terminal and type the following command:
brctl log --wait --shorten
On macOS Catalina 10.15 use the following command:
brctl log -w --shorten
It will show you a brief summary of the sync changes both up and down. The wait causes it to run continuously until you close the window or issue Control+C to quit brctl process. If you are familiar with the grep command line tool, you could filter the results to just show upload progress, but most iCloud accounts are quite low volume in terms of changes, so your upload of many files will likely dominate the results.

Also, the empirical way to tell if a file is synced is to log in to iCloud drive on the web interface and verify a file and/or folder is up there in the clouds.

Here is how I solved it:
Restart finder via terminal command or just reboot (copy/paste into Terminal:
killall Finder && open /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app)Finder > Go tab > Go To Folder
Drag DropBox to the left favorite column
Works!
