There appears to be a problem with the Dropbox software currently I am including this official answer for reference because it does include instructions on removing the extentions and meta data to do a really clean re-install of dropbox on OSX. I have followed all the steps but the first thing it did on login and resync was delete 46 files. I submitted this to Dropbox support and got the following answer. The source doesn't seem to be a defining issue.Īny suggestions? I have to watch the event log every day that that machine gets turned on to see what gets deleted and manually restore them using the website. Some of the files originate from the trouble machine, others were created on other machines.

The files in question have no special flags and are of varying file types (pdf, odt, mp3, etc).

Deleting the folder with dropbox off, then starting dropbox and asking it to sync it again cleared that up.

One other time a folder got stuck marked as syncing and would never finish 3 files.

One other Mac client has exhibited this problem once, but I've been unable to reproduce it there.

The problem shows up immediately with a random batch of files deleted during the first sync.

I have unlinked the box, deleted the dropbox files and started over with a freshly linked and synced dropbox folder.

Dropbox has been uninstalled / re-installed with the latest (1.1.35 at the moment) version, but this has persisted across a dozen upgrades.

Sometimes it's untouched files from months back.

It's usually in the most recently used folder, but not always the most recently touched files.Troublesome filesets persist at being trouble until they are undeleted a few dozen times and eventually something happens that it sticks. Usually the same files, but the fileset sometimes changes.The next time the trouble mac syncs, they will be deleted again. They can be undeleted from the dropbox website and they will show back up on all the clients.The files still exist and are marked with green X's on the Mac in question.When it syncs, it frequently marks a few (or even hundreds) of files as deleted. At first I thought somebody was playing with that machine, but I've since duplicated the behavior while I was watching. A check online at the event log shows that it was my user from the mac machine that initiated the deletes. Some days I will turn on another machine and be notified that x, x and z files have been deleted. I have sync to several Windows, Linux and OSX clients, and only one of them exhibits this problem.īasically, it randomly deletes files. For months, I've been fighting one Mac machine that syncs with my dropbox account.
