A Dropbox client that feels like macOS.

Every account at once

Personal, work, a client’s — each linked account gets its own place in the Finder sidebar and its own index. No signing out to switch.

The window that lists them says what each account holds, marks what it is doing, and counts anything that couldn’t sync. It is also where you link one, unlink one, or hand an account a fresh index when you want it rebuilt from scratch.

When something can’t sync

A file Dropbox refuses gets a row of its own naming what went wrong, a way to it in Finder, and a way to stop being told. What did sync is kept too — seven days of what moved and when, in the app or from zephyr history.

Two machines editing one file is not one of those failures: Zephyr never writes over a revision it didn’t start from, so Dropbox keeps both copies, names the second one, and Zephyr picks it up as a file in its own right.

And when Dropbox resets a delta cursor, Zephyr re-lists the account and carries on, keeping your Finder tags, favorites and exclusions. The cursor is committed alongside the changes it reflects, so a crash can’t leave the index claiming state it doesn’t have.

One window of settings, and not much in it

Open at login, so Finder hears about changes made elsewhere. Choose how much you want to be told and snooze it when you don’t. Set the two ceilings, and, under Metered Networks, a tighter one for a hotspot — with indexing held back too, unless you say otherwise, so a laptop tethered to a phone doesn’t walk your whole Dropbox unasked.

Not Syncing lists everything you’ve taken off Dropbox, with a Resume beside each. Troubleshooting collects a diagnostics report for a bug report — and tells you plainly that it names your files, so you can read it first. Every section has a ? that opens the page about it in Zephyr’s help book.

In the menu bar

The Zephyr mark sits in the menu bar badged with what every account is doing right now, and drawn in amber when something couldn’t sync. Click it and you get the same thing in words: how much each account holds, what it is doing, and anything that went wrong.

From there it is one click to a folder in Finder, to Settings, to pausing every account, or to snoozing notifications while you work. If macOS is still holding back an approval Zephyr needs, the panel says so at the top and takes you to the right System Settings pane.

In Finder’s own menu

Control-click anything in your Dropbox and Zephyr’s commands are already there, at the foot of the menu macOS built — not in a submenu of their own, and not behind an app you have to go and open first.

They come and go with what you have selected. Show Previous Versions… is offered for one file and not for a folder or a selection; Delete from Dropbox, Keep on This Mac for anything you want off Dropbox but kept here.

Every version, from the context menu

Control-click a file and Show Previous Versions… lists what Dropbox still holds of it — each one by the date it was recorded and how big the file was then, with the one the file is at right now marked Current.

Choose one, confirm, and it goes back. No browser, no download folder, and no hunting for the file again afterwards. History is kept by Dropbox’s own file identifier, so renaming or moving a file doesn’t end it.

A destination in every Share menu

Wherever macOS offers a Share button, Zephyr is one of the places a file can go. You get a Quick Look at what is being sent, which account it goes to, and which folder it lands in — up to twenty files at a time.

The destination menu opens on the folders you used last, with a filterable browser behind Other Folder… that draws on what Zephyr has already indexed, so it fills in at once however large the account is. Uploads are added, never written over: a name already in use gets a new one from Dropbox.

On the desktop, without opening anything

The Sync Status widget carries each account’s file and folder counts, when it last changed, and anything that couldn’t sync. The small size leads with one account’s file count; the medium size lists up to three.

Control Center gets a switch of its own, so pausing every account is one click from the menu bar whether or not Zephyr’s panel is open. The switch asks macOS what the answer is, so it stays right even with the app closed.

The Finder extension, because macOS keeps every file provider switched off until you turn it on. Notifications, so Zephyr can say when your files change and when something couldn’t sync. And opening at login, which is what keeps Finder hearing about changes made elsewhere within seconds.

Setup explains each one before it asks for it, and signs you in through Dropbox itself, so your password never reaches Zephyr. Then you don’t see it again — everything it asked is in Settings afterwards.
