    I downloaded a file about a week ago in the Files app. I've subsequently updated it (in Dropbox). The Files app now shows the cloud icon indicating that the file isn't downloaded. When it click it, though, it opens the old version, and it won't refresh. The only way I've been able to force...

    Hello! I know someone who wants to keep their desktop in sync across two Macs. The two obvious options to me are to either turn on iCloud Drive Desktop & Documents Folder sync, or use Dropbox with a link to the Desktop folder. I think both options will work, but what I'm hoping can happen is...
