Dropbox external SSD MacOS problems
I've recently switched my Windows laptop to a Macbook running on Tahoe 26.5, File provider version for Dropbox.
I'm used to sync my Dropbox on an external SSD. I've done so on the Macbook, but I've encountered many problems :
- After long sleep, MacOS disconnects the SSD incorrectly (and I don't have the setting in battery to avoid this).I get the mount was not ejected correctly alert at wake up. Doing so broke features and often re-indexes everything. Offline files then do not open.
- Many left click option are hidden, even if I go to edit Dropbox right click action. Copy link for example, is greyed out and often missing.
- The syncing stays bugged on "Syncing...." after indexing. Some folder open but nothing loads inside.
- Restarting the PC also breaks everything. Goes into indexing again or Syncing... loop.
- When everything works fine, (after re-installl, or logout + advanced relink), many features finish by broking after a couple hours (Dropbox right click options, sync online - offline).
As I'm kinda new to the MAcOS world, maybe I'm missing a simple setting or something dumb.
How can I fix this? Is the only option is to put Dropbox on internal storage and only use SSD for cache and other often used files?
