I don't know who screwed the pooch on this one, but I'm not about to sit idly by waiting for them to sort out this mess. No custom icons, no file tags/labels, no QuickLook… A complete, unmitigated mess.

Here's the thing: with this newfangled API, not only the OneDrive folders look ridiculously amateurish (they are basically aliases, while the cache is the old folder, except renamed as “.ODContainer-OneDrive”, but the path given to the files is stored at ~/Library/CloudStorage, whether these two are on the same physical volume or not, but… users aren't exactly warned about that change at all) ALL files are treated as if they were only available on-line, whether they are cached locally or not, which means… NOTHING “Mac-like”/native works. Their new little idea just screwed up my entire OneDrive workflow, because, guess what, I actually like having big external drives connected to my Macs and my entire OneDrive file structure ALWAYS available offline. This is a massive flustercuck on the part of Apple. We've reached out to Apple and Dropbox for further details, but so far have not received any additional information.Īpple will likely release macOS 12.2 within the next week or so, and then macOS 12.3 beta testing should begin shortly after that. Microsoft said OneDrive will be getting a new online-only files experience that is "more integrated with macOS" and "will have long-term support from Apple," adding that the current version is built on several technologies that are "now deprecated."Īltogether, it appears likely that Apple has given cloud storage services like Dropbox and OneDrive advanced notice about system-level changes that will affect online-only files starting with macOS 12.3.

In the meantime, Dropbox users who update to macOS 12.3 will still be able to open online-only files in Finder.ĭropbox did not provide any further details, but Microsoft recently said macOS 12.2 will be the last version that supports its own cloud storage service OneDrive's current online-only files implementation.
#GOOGLE DRIVE FOR MAC VERSION FULL#
In a support document and an email to customers, Dropbox said it is actively working on full support for online-only files on macOS 12.3 and will begin rolling out an updated version of its Mac app to beta testers in March.
#GOOGLE DRIVE FOR MAC VERSION SOFTWARE#
You can read more about its features here.Dropbox today announced that users who update to macOS 12.3 once that software version becomes available may temporarily encounter issues with opening online-only files in some third-party apps on their Mac. Put simply: Transmit lets you quickly and easily manage files on the internet. For example, Amazon S3 dramatically changed the way files are served on the internet,Īnd Transmit is a great way to manage your Amazon S3 buckets. Now, long ago we’d call Transmit an “FTP client”, but today, with Transmit 5, we connect to lots of different server types and cloud services. And with Panic Sync, you can sync them to all of your computers. Transmit also takes great care to let you organize your Servers for fast access. But Transmit also has tons of very nice features like File Sync, which can mirror remote and local (or, now, local Transmit’s big strength is its clean interface - our famous “dual-pane” view is way faster than the Finder. But you need to connect to a thing, and upload, download, or tweak the So, you have files you need to manage on servers.
