Dropbox Resume/Pause Syncing Toggle


Recommended Posts

Is there a place to request a workflow, when you don't know how to make them yourself? It isn't a suggestion exactly, but wondering if anyone has created something like this...just to know it is possible. 

 

I want to create a workflow that will toggle the pause syncing and resume syncing function of Dropbox, that currently resides in the menubar.

 

Thanks for any insight!

You asked in the right place.

Different question, but the bulk of my reply still applies. This either requires GUI scripting (i.e. faking key presses) or for Dropbox itself to allow this to be done programatically (seems like they don’t).

 

The simplest solution would be to just have a workflow to quit Dropbox (there is an Automation Task to macOS → Quit Apps), then you open it again when you want to resume syncing.
