I have been using Dropbox on MacOS X for more than one year. Current versions: Dropbox 3.6.8, OS X 10.10.4 Dropbox.app is set to “Allow incoming connections” in “MacOS System Preferences Security & Privacy Firewall Firewall Options.' The program runs on OS X Yosemite 10.10 up to macOS Mojave 10.14. It’s also available on Android and Windows. Is there a better alternative? Dropbox is a good choice, but alternatives like Google Drive give you more flexibility with storage. On November 3, 2017, the Dropbox desktop application will no longer be available for download or install on devices that run the following operating systems: Mac: OS X 10.6, OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8. On January 16, 2018, Dropbox will completely stop supporting these versions.

I trust you are already familiar with Dropbox. It is a convenient way to store files in the Cloud (on the Internet). I use it as an alternative to iCloud.

I wanted to have a second Dropbox account to store Dropbox backups of one of my websites.

It’s easy to set up a second Dropbox account (you just need a second email address), but having both sync to your computer requires a bit of fiddling around. Nothing daunting; it’s actually relatively easy.

Here are instructions (a Howto) on how to have multiple drop box accounts set up on one (Mac) computer.

First Method (with Dropbox Encore)

One way is to use a small application called Dropbox Encore. I only found out about that after I went about it another way. Here are the instructions for the Dropbox Encore method:

1. Download Dropbox Encore from joyofmacs.com
2. Mount the disk image and drag the application to your ‘Applications’ directory
3. In Finder, make yourself a folder that will be home for your second dropbox folder. Put it somewhere easy to find and give it a unique name so you can easily tell the folders apart
4. Launch Dropbox Encore and a second Dropbox icon should appear in your task bar, this is how you know the software is working correctly
5. Change the Preferences in one of the Dropbox instances to “Use black and white menu bar icons”. See the image to the right for an example.
6. Follow the standard Dropbox set up instructions but be sure to choose ‘Advanced’ and configure the software to use your new folder as the place to store files locally
7. Dropbox will create a new folder called ‘Dropbox’ in your target folder, and your files stored in the cloud will begin to synchronise.
8. Dropbox creates an entry in your Finder Favorites, called Dropbox. When you set up the second instance of Dropbox it will replace the original Dropbox folder in your favorites with the new one. So you need to drag the original Dropbox folder to your favorites. At this stage they will both be called Dropbox, so perhaps position them in such a way that you can recall which is which. For instance, have one at the top of your favorites and one at the bottom.

Second Method (with Automator app)

Mac Os X Versions

The other method (which is the one I used) is this:

To create your custom application, follow these steps:

• Launch Automator and create a new workflow using the Application template
• Add a Run Shell Script action:

• open Library > Utilities
• drag the Run Shell Script action to your workflow space on the right
• remove any default text (e.g. cat) from the script window
• Paste in the following code (change the folder “Dropbox-personal” if desired):

• Press the Run button at the top right of Automator. This will test you’ve set it up correctly, and it will launch the second instance of Dropbox Desktop for you to enter the details of your second Dropbox account.

• Go through all the steps of the Dropbox Wizard.
• When asked the location to store your Dropbox files, select Custom, and direct it to the folder you created for your second Dropbox account.
• Save your custom application. File > Save

• Give it a name and save it to the new Dropbox folder you are using. That way everything is in one place.

To make sure the second instance of Dropbox runs at start-up, you need to add the Automator app to your list of Login Items in System Preferences. The following images shows you what I mean.

Today, Apple released macOS Sierra. Upgrading to this operating system may impact the way Dropbox interacts with your file system, so here are a few simple steps you can take to keep things running smoothly: Check that your Dropbox app is up to date To ensure Dropbox continues to sync properly, make sure you’re running the latest version of the desktop app (10.4.26). You can update to the latest version by following these steps. Keep your Dropbox folder in the default location If your Dropbox folder is not in the default location, you should move it there to prevent the possibility of any issues. Manage warning notifications If you see warning notifications when you move files from an iCloud-synced folder into Dropbox, don’t worry—your files will still sync safely to Dropbox. The warning is simply letting you know that the files are being removed from iCloud. Apple provides an easy way to opt out of these notifications so you don’t see them when you move files into Dropbox. Update your Accessibility permissions, if needed Advanced Dropbox collaboration features, such as the badge, require Accessibility permissions. You’ll be prompted to grant these permissions when you install the Dropbox desktop app on macOS Sierra. To do so, follow the instructions on screen. The same will apply for older versions of OS X in the coming weeks. For more information on Dropbox Mac permissions, visit our help center.
