With the enabling of the sandbox in 33.x, we can no longer get access to the user's real home folder path without their explicit consent (i.e. the file picker and the ensuing permission granted by the system). The best way to fix this issue is to have the user explicitly choose where they wish to sync. Signed-off-by: Claudio Cambra <developer@claudiocambra.com>

This is odd. That used to work with 33.0.0. This must be a regression. When this wizard step appeared, there was an automatic prompt for selecting a folder ever since. 😕 I know for sure because I implemented exactly that and made sure. |
