Copy Dropbox Link to File Using Maestral

Jan 28th, 2022

Joel Rendall on the Keyboard Maestro forums published a macro collection for Maestral users. Since my switch to Maestro from the macOS native Dropbox app with all its annoying features, there’s only one thing I missed from the Dropbox app – copying links to files in my Dropbox to share them with others. I do this quite often with video recordings for bug reports, I found.

I Uninstalled the Dropbox App in Favor of Maestral

Jan 22nd, 2022

Today I have uninstalled the Dropbox app from my Mac. I’ve been an early Dropbox user and invited friends until I got up to 10 GiB, which was a ton of storage back in the day. But the native apps gets more and more annoying; they have a history of faking system standard dialogs to “trick” you into installing the kernel extension with root privileges; and resource consumption was at times confusingly high. Stuff like that made me tired of the app.
