Hazel and Dropbox problem Sat Jul 20, 2013 11:52 am • by Jitto
Hey guys,

Basically, I have two computers and i use dropbox to sync folders containing certain documents between them. Im using hazel on one of the comps to transfer the folder (containing the documents) to a designated folder on my desktop.

This is the problem im coming across; hazel actually doesnt wait till all the documents in that folder are fully synced and keeps transferring the folder containing the docs over and over again as its being updated to the desktop.

I want hazel to wait until the folder (containing the docs) in dropbox is fully synced and then transfer it to the desktop. Here is the rule i am using right now.

Any help on this will greatly be appreciated.

Is it just one folder deep or are there files further down under that folder? If the latter, then checking the modified date on that one folder won't do it. You'll need to create a nested condition and use "any of its sub-files" to match against any files or folders underneath it.
