			<description><![CDATA[Why recommend updating Dropbox manually or advising people to trust the apparently flawed Dropbox auto-update process? Why not recommend subscribing to MacUpdate.com and have it automatically inform you when updates are available for ALL of your non-Apple software? It sure works well for me, including updates for Dropbox.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't know when my Dropbox app updated, but after I installed Mtn Lion, I noticed that the folder icons in the Finder did not have status indicators (green check marks or blue upload arrows).  A few days ago, I noticed the indicators reappeared, and I am running Dropbox 1.4.12.  So that was the fix for Mtn Lion.   The folder status indicators are back.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Not for me - I always run under a non-admin account and it updated for me just the other day - I know becuase the Mac OS X security subsystem asked me to authorise to allow DropBox connctivity via the firewall again. I then tracked it down to a silent update.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[My observation is that Dropbox auto update only runs when you are logged in to your Mac under an account with administrator privileges.  Could you be using an non-privileged account some of the time?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've long thought DB needs an 'update now' button, the wait for them to roll out new versions to everyone is often way too long, and as noted in this article sometimes certain versions never seem to update by themselves.<br><br>Auto-updating is nice, but a manual override is necessary too.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm not sure what else it might fix, but prior to upgrading to 1.4.12 under Mountain Lion, I found that the little icons (either a green checkmark to indicate that a file or folder had been synced, or a blue rotating arrow to indicate that a file was in the process of being synced) no longer worked.]]></description>
