How to uninstall the Dropbox desktop app on Mac
Hi there, There has been an issue with my dropbox desktop app where it wouldn't sync files with our online dropbox. While searching for solutions online, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app; I made sure full-disk access is allowed for DB, and made sure DB has no bandwidth restrictions. I have a folder of mixed Adobe files, Indesign, Illustrator JPEGs, PNGs etc. None of them will open as each application thinks they are already open or locked or says they are not suitable files. The files where on dropbox but are now stored locally. Other files and folders I have do not behave like. However, macOS Catalina is the first macOS operating system to drop all support for 32-bit apps, rendering all those apps incompatible. There is no workaround – they will not work with macOS Catalina. Dropbox for Java - Dropbox for Java is open source on GitHub. View examples on GitHub. Install Java SDK. You can add the Java SDK to your project via Maven or Gradle. To get started with the Java SDK, check out the README in the GitHub repo, under the Setup section.
