which has absolutely nothing to do with this issue.Äropbox creates and is responsible for their web software as well as their Mac app software. support replied to part of this and wanted to explain the difference in base 2 vs base 10 storage. Stating there are "conflicts" without identifying them - and ideally providing some dialog to resolve them - is useless. Especially with a slow internet connection and large numbers of files, downloading a new copy of everything into a new folder wastes space, bandwidth, and my time. ![]() Individual file sizes and folder file sizes should match the Finder. What a mess! If I have to use rsync to sort this out, I will skip Dropbox and use or similar providers for my needs in the future. ![]() I have recently discovered that synchronizing a folder, then removing it from synchronization, then later adding it back to synchronization duplicates SOME folders and items into a new "conflicts" folder, without identifying the conflicts. Can you address that serious problem please? A simple count in a single folder isn't useful for validation. The "workaround" you propose does not address file size differences between the Dropbox web interface and the Mac Finder. Now just update your scripts to replace every instance of rsync with /Library/COMPANY/Applications/rsync/bin/rsync and you should be all set.Ä®DIT: Removed this line: "# patch -p1 ![]() We decided to install into /Library/COMPANY/Applications/rsync folder, where the binary path would be /Library/COMPANY/Applications/rsync/bin/rsync. The concern we always have when updating anything bundled with macOS is we don't want to cause any issues by tinkering, luckily Apple's /usr/bin/rsync is not touched when you install the new version which installs in /usr/local/bin/rsync.Ä«ut.that's a problem too, since it makes the new version the one that's used when you invoke rsync in Terminal.which can piss off developers, and cause problems with any scripts or apps that expect rsync to just work. Using rsync 3.x, with -X preserves macOS metadata including resource forks, but you don't lose full/delta syncing. So every time you run rsync, it copies the whole enchilada. While you can use -E with rsync 2.6.9 to preserve resource forks, a side effect is you lose the ability to run delta syncs. Without diving into the weeds on why, we needed to update rsync to 3.x, because it can preserve macOS metadata (resource forks, etc.). Apologies, title should read "Updating rsync from 2.x to 3.x (because GPLv3 blows chunks)"Īpple bundles rsync 2.6.9 with macOS, and never went past that version because of changes from GPLv2 to GPLv3.
