Dropbox is deleting InDesign files

[horsewoman711]

Is there are problem between DB and InDesign? They show as being deleted yesterday 6/15 at 3:41. I am able to restore deleted files, but still.

I meant to say that InDesign files show as being deleted...

First time it happens? Are there others with access to the files? Are you the only one working with the file?

I experienced a serious problem with dropbox on macOS Big Sur: not only with InDesign files.

It somehow related to the new feature: backup desktop, documents, downloads folders.

Despite the fact, I don't want to use it, turned off all three checkboxes, but dropbox thinks another way and moves all files from my documents folder to the cloud so I can access them only via the web interface.

See this video.

My solution: I don't use dropbox on mac anymore.

It used to be the best cloud storage. 😞
