Description

Describe the bug
When launching after a reboot, Maestral claims that it cannot create the cache directory, because I have no write permissions for .maestral.cache.

To Reproduce

  • Uninstall DropBox
  • Point Maestral to pre-existing Dropbox location, typically /Users/[username]/Library/CloudStorage/DropBox/.
  • Ensure you have read+write permissions for DropBox.
  • Ensure Maestral is fully up and running, and fully functional, sharing files with DropBox perfectly fine. No errors in sight.
  • Restart the system.
  • Maestral encounters the error as screenshotted below.

Expected behaviour
Maestral continuing to share files with DropBox service as expected.

System:

  • Maestral version: 1.9.4
  • OS: MacOS Sequoia 15.2
