Īuth Link, unlink and view the Dropbox account. I use for sharing stuff, but I do that seldomly.ĭon’t miss the command-line tool which gives you things like Usage: maestral COMMAND. I just checked and all those files are zero bytes. The few things left on my HD were not worth it to me, but deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Dropbox/ can’t hurt. That’s all I did, and it seems to work fine. I installed maestral and followed the prompts, etc.Which probably wasn’t necessary, but didn’t hurt. I went to System Preferences » Extensions and turned off (unchecked) the Dropbox stuff. Remove Dropbox app from Login Items under Users and Groups in System Preferences?Īre there any other places to check, items to delete or actions to take to remove the Dropbox app and its associated files and settings? Do I need to shut down the Mac and re-boot macOS after removing the Dropbox app, before installing Maestral?.Should Dropbox Finder extensions be removed in System Preferences?.
I assume this should be deleted also, correct?

My question for MPU forum: what specific steps should I follow to replace the Dropbox app with Maestral for my 2020 iMac 27” and 2020 M1 MacBook Pro? My Dropbox folder contains 9,135 items (17.6 GB), and I currently run Dropbox on 4 devices - the two Macs listed above, iPhone 10s Max and iPad Pro 11". Searching the Macpowerusers forum revealed positive comments by and as well as a Github link with more information ( GitHub - SamSchott/maestral: Open-source Dropbox client for macOS and Linux). The Maestral app was described as “lightweight”, with a much smaller memory and CPU utilization footprint compared to the Dropbox app. The recent ATP podcast episode 452 (Oct 14, 2021) recommended the Maestral app as replacement for Dropbox’s macOS client app.
