#CHRONOSYNC PERMISSION DENIED INSTALL#
If it’s below 59, you can visit the Dropbox Web site and manually download and install the latest update. If you’re experiencing this problem, select the Dropbox icon in the menu bar, select Preferences, and look at the About Dropbox version number: if it’s 59 or higher, contact Dropbox for help.
#CHRONOSYNC PERMISSION DENIED UPDATE#
IDGĭropbox says it won’t show this dialog again, but that’s not accurate.įortunately, Dropbox solved this in an October 10 update that should have appeared for all users automatically. He preferred not to, but there’s no Deny button to stop asking about it (as he found with Photoshop Elements, which he opted to deny), only a Not Now button to defer action.ĭropbox explains at its site that it need accessibility permission for three items that seemingly have no relationship to how you orally, visually, or manually interact with a computer: to update its badge (it shows what the app is up to in the system menu bar), to show to someone else if you’re viewing a file (which requires monitoring whether you’re viewing it), and for better “file synchronization priority” (which I can only assume requires monitoring your file interactions to figure out which are most important).
Macworld reader Robert wrote in to complain about a recurring permission dialog he receives with Dropbox to grant it accessibility privileges. You might wonder why some apps need “accessibility” access when they don’t appear to rely on any input feature. In Mojave, I had to grant permission for some apps in Accessibility that I’d previously given, or even follow instructions provided by the developer to remove entries from the list and then add them back. The Accessibility pane lets app use input and interface-monitoring features. Apple requires explicit permission, because it’s just these kinds of features that can be leveraged and abused by simpler malware that doesn’t dig deeply into exploiting the system, but could, for instance, try to capture your keystrokes. In my Accessibility list, I have LaunchBar, Pastebot, and TextExpander, to name just a few. Accessibility covers more than just input optionsĪccessibility permission, which appeared in earlier releases of macOS, let apps use features to monitor and affect how you interact with the system that are primarily designed to work with software that helps people with visual, auditory, or motion issues.
