Maestral:开源的极简 Mac Dropbox 客户端已停止维护Maestral, the Open Source Splendidly Simple Mac Dropbox Client, Has Been Retired

daringfireball.net·2026-07-06 节选正文

开源 Mac Dropbox 客户端 Maestral 的开发者 Sam Schott 宣布,该项目自 2026 年 6 月起停止积极维护,并于 7 月底正式归档。导致该项目终止的主要原因是开发者缺乏时间投入,且个人已不再使用 Dropbox。不过,在相关证书过期之前,当前版本的 Maestral 仍可继续正常使用。这标志着 macOS 平台上少了一个轻量级、避开官方臃肿客户端的优质替代方案。

Unlimited number of devices

Maestral is not an official Dropbox App. It therefore does not count towards the three devices limit for Basic Dropbox accounts.

Exclude local items from syncing by placing an .mignore file in the Dropbox root with patterns matching any number of items.
