Dropbox Beta for Mac 110.3.425: Backup, synchronise & share important files. The 9to5Mac team has discovered that the latest Dropbox beta for Mac (sadly, not easy to grab) has the option of syncing your desktop, Documents and Downloads. The move comes just weeks after Dropbox reworked its core sync engine to make it easier to maintain and improve reliability.
If you recently upgraded to the latest version of macOS, and you have the Dropbox desktop app installed on your computer, we recommend you update to the latest version of Dropbox for the best experience.

After updating your device, you’ll see a notification that says “Dropbox Would Like to Send You Notifications”.

Camera uploads
When you plug your mobile device into your computer after updating to the latest version of macOS, you’ll see a notification that says “’Dropbox’ would like to access files on a removable volume.”
Clicking OK ensures Dropbox uploads photos from your mobile device automatically. Learn more about Camera uploads.
Screenshots and screen recordings
After taking your first screenshot or screen recording, you may see a notification that says “’Dropbox’ would like to access files in your Desktop folder.”
Clicking OK allows all of your screenshots and screen recordings to automatically save to a Dropbox folder called Screenshots.
Modern technology enables a team to operate in different locations across your company and the world. If you’re a software developer, there’s no reason why you couldn’t pick the best programmers based in Germany, document writers from the UK, whilst your graphic artists could be based in the States.
The problem is bringing these people together. You need a system where your team or teams can share files and information, make sure that no-one overwrites someone else’s work and keep a collection of previously updated files, so you can quickly reverse back to a previous revision, if necessary. Doing this on your website requires you have the relevant versioning technology and that it will work across various operating systems. A versioning tool that works fine on Windows may not be suitable for OS X.
DropBox is an online sharing tool that enables you to select the files you want to share and synchronise with other users, then simply upload them to the remote site. That bit is done automatically, so you don’t need to worry about having to upload the files manually. You can share folders and collaborate with other users on the files within these folders. Versioning will stop work being overwritten.
You can just use Dropbox on a personal level, too. If you own a desktop computer at home, use another at work and a laptop when you’re away from the office, simply use DropBox to synchronise your important files across each machine. You can also access your DropBox files from the web, if you need access from a temporary host PC.
Dropbox Mac Beta
Better still, setup your software so they write preferences to your DropBox folder, then sync these settings and preferences across your computers, enabling you to have the same setup across your desktop and laptop or PC and Mac. We use it to store our 1Password account and synchronise this data across our computers, meaning everyone has access to the same database.
DropBox will limit you to 2GB of free online storage (and you can purchase more, if required) and is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
