Hi everyone,
I hope the collective knowledge here can help me.
Currently, I am having issues with syncing my catalog with Dropbox. I'm working with Adobe Lightroom Classic and Dropbox doesn't sync some .db files.
The problem occurs when I open my catalog stored in Dropbox.
I have been using Dropbox and Lightroom for years without any issues until Dropbox made the upgrade.
Now there is an "CloudStorage" folder in my Library.
In Finder, everything has a green checkmark, but at the top on the Dropbox symbol, a red number appears, indicating that previews.db and root-pixels.db cannot be synced.
The only way I can synchronize the files without any issues is by moving them from Dropbox to my desktop, editing them there, exiting Lightroom, and then moving them back to Dropbox. With this approach, I don’t get any error messages regarding the .db files.
Here are some details about my equipment:
iMac 27 inch 2019
macOS Sonoma 14.5
Adobe Lightroom Classic
Version 13.4 Camera Raw 16.4
Dropbox 202.4.5551
Anyone experiencing something similar? Thanks for your feedback - I hope someone solved the problem.
Best regards, Carina
