Has anyone noticed extremely slow dropbox synchronizationIs with project files? Syncing my project file to dropbox to use on my iMac or MacBook Pro was always very fast. Almost instantaneous… Now, a small change in text to my website results in a 30 minuet (or more) sync time… Jones X-Ra…

Nobody else has noticed this? I don’t know if this is dropbox or RapidWeaver…

I’ve had zero problems in terms of speed of sync. Most of my project files are between 10 and 25 Mb. (I put all media on my server directly) So I suppose if you have a large project file there may be something that’s causing a problem. Sorry I can’t help any more.

This is driving me nuts! I’m not sure what is going on. A simple change to my website and the resulting Dropbox sync ( 9-hours and counting ) can be seen in the attached screen grab… Since updating to RW 8.4 this has been going on. I am now running 8.4.1 I have changed nothing so this is either a …

My gut feeling is it’s a Dropbox issue. I removed Dropbox from my Mac a while back, the Mac app seemed to have a memory leak. The project file being only 98mb shouldn’t take more than a few seconds or maybe a minute or so to synchronize no matter what’s in the file. I’d try completely uninstallin…

Doug, Thanks for your response I really thought it was Dropbox too but I am now convinced it is a RapidWeaver issue or a issue with my RW project file… Maybe file resources…? I have been at this for 2 days now and I have got to step away from it for a while… Dropbox continues to work perfectly ac…

I have the same issue. It’s driving me crazy. I’m sure it’s DP. It started, when DB got updated and adapted to Catalina. Before everything worked out well with RW 7 and 8, there were no syncing issues at all… And there is a second problem: If you make a copy of a RW project in DB, both - the origin…

LL, I’m sorry to hear your having problems but I guess I’m glad to know I’m not alone… My work around, like you, has been to remove my project file from DB / Work / then put the project file back in dropbox… DropBox sync’s the Project File just fine but no longer can sync the file “After Rapid Wea…

I think it’s Dropbox. The problem also exists with old RW 7 projects and versions which were synchronized without problems until the “Catalina Update” of Dropbox. I bought 50 GB iCloud Space now and store my RW projects there. So I don’t have to remove them from the DB before editing. But actually …

We cannot blame Apple or Realmac for sync issues that DropBox has. If DropBox is busted, stop using it. I stopped using them a couple of years ago. I’m now all on iCloud.

And thanks for the tip to take the RW projects out of DB when working on them and put them back when finished. This is a good turn around.
