![]() I'm finally moving away from it today because it's been paused for 24h now and I haven't been able to get it syncing again, even trying to roll back to several older releases, reindexing, rebooting etc. I have been plagued with sync conflicts, sometimes causing duplication of hundreds of files and have experienced some data loss, and have been meaning to migrate back to the first party client for a while now.ĭuring the 7 or 8 Maestral updates that have been released in recent months, I've had to keep rolling back the version because of various problems with the menu bar app freezing, or the sync engine being stuck in a paused state. We run our whole business off Dropbox, and have literally millions of files of varying sizes. The CLI also makes it a dream come true for setting up automations that are otherwise very clunky to do with Dropbox.įor my complex usage case, it hasn't been ideal. I still think that Maestral is a good choice for basic to moderate usage. First off, I'm grateful to the dev for all the work they've put into this, especially presumably without any funding or monetary motive. Just wanted to update the thread based on more long-term Maestral usage. Thanks to those who helped me figure out some command line challenges in this thread: Execute Shell Script: Solution for Truncated Results (You can probably skip the video if you're already good at KM). (Apologies for the extra rambling, I'm not good at this but wanted to get the info out there without procrastinating too much). I bragged about these macros on Twitter, and a friendly Keyboard Maestro newbie asked me to share, so I decided to throw together a very rough, unedited walkthrough of how to set up and use the macros. If you run into problems I can try to help, but troubleshooting will likely be a real challenge, so fingers crossed that it works for you on first try. Please do adjust and improve these macros if you can do better. I have only tested these on my own machine, but I've made efforts to make them flexible to hopefully work for others.There are best practices some KM experts like to use that I haven't bothered with due to time constraints, such as organization and naming conventions of actions / macros, and colouring actions etc.Maestral CLI must be enabled, which it isn't by default Caveats.These macros assume that Maestral is currently showing as "up to date", instead of updating / syncing files.Dropbox Folder: Add to Local Sync - Grabs the current Chrome path while browsing your folders, and adds that folder to your Selective Sync, so the folder downloads locally. ![]() ![]() Works with multiple selected files/folders) For Chrome (Sorry, I wish I could use Safari / Firefox as my main browser) A convenient alternative to manually editing the Selective Sync settings in Maestral preferences. Dropbox File: Exclude from Sync - Removes local copy of file from your computer, keeping it just in the cloud.Dropbox: Copy Link (Works similarily to Copying Dropbox Public Link in the first party client, for files and folders)._Maestral config - You need to edit include your local Dropbox folder path For Finder:.These macros are for the clever folk who, like myself, have dropped the native, bloated, non-M1 Dropbox client in favour of the excellent Maestral.Īpp: Maestral (Dropbox) Macros.kmmacros (35.2 KB) Macros included: Configuration:
