We are pleased to share that ForkLift 4.1.8 restores direct connection to Dropbox

With this update, you can reconnect seamlessly to Dropbox. However, earlier versions of ForkLift can no longer connect to Dropbox. Please ensure you update to version 4.1.8 or later to continue using Dropbox.

When you connect to Dropbox in this new version, you will need to authenticate again. If you previously saved Dropbox favorites in ForkLift, they will no longer work, and you will need to recreate them.

To delete your old favorites, simply right-click them in the sidebar and select Delete.

To create a new favorite:

1. Open the Connect Panel by pressing Command-K or through the menu (Go > Connect)
2. Select Dropbox as the protocol, and click the “Add to Favorites” button.
3. Open your browser, click the “Allow” button to let ForkLift access your Dropbox files.
4. Choose “Allow” or “Always allow” to return to ForkLift.
5. Back in ForkLift, name your favorite and click the “Add” Button.
6. If you want to connect to your Dropbox account, then click “Connect” – or click “Cancel” to close the Connect Panel.

Support for Dropbox Team accounts

In this version, we have also added support for Dropbox Teams. So if you are a member of a team – or even multiple teams – you will be able to access and manage both your personal and team accounts directly from ForkLift.

Here are the release notes for ForkLift version 4.1.8:
