Alfred not working properly after enabling sync with Dropbox

[cocobriclot]

Hey,

 

I keep having issues on my Mac after re-installing Alfred on my previous macbook pro. Hotkey was working perfectly at first then I wanted to add the syncing folder and hotkey is not working. It keeps using the default hotkey Option + Space instead of the one I have on my Mac Cmd + Space.

I tried to delete the app and all the following files:

~/Library/Application Support/Alfred
~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred
~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences.plist
~/Library/Saved Application State/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences.savedState

 

Then re-install the app again but it keeps bugging when I add the syncing folder.

 

I have issues with snippets and clipboard too. They're not working even though everything is activate

 

Need help please.

 

Using Alfred 5.5 Build 2257

Have you ensured your preferences are available off-line?

Yes everything is available. I just can't use them

@cocobriclot Could you please let us know the path to your preferences? (You'll find this in Alfred's Advanced prefs) 

 

If you open Finder and find the folder, right-click and ensure that it's set to be available offline.

Here is the path:

 

And I already right-clicked to make it available offline yes

It's working again. I had a new permission to give. I just did and it's working again now

What steps did you take to give the permissions? I had the same syncing issue about a year ago and just gave up after going thru some troubleshooting steps in another thread.
