This post is a part of my [blog paleontology series](https://blog.matthewbrunelle.com/tag/paleontology/). I dug up and restored this post on 2025-08-11.

I guess I was trying out tech support style posts for a bit. Sadly the forum link has rotted and is not on the wayback machine.

If anyone just recently upgraded to OS X Lion (or has been running the Developer Preview \*Cough Cough\*) they may have found Dropbox works, but lacks finder integration. To fix this uninstall it and install this [developer release](http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=41644&replies=7&ref=blog.matthewbrunelle.com).

It seems to be quite stable but keep in mind that it is a pre-release.
