Sorry if this has been covered before. I am having trouble with 10.12.6 setting side bar favorites for all users to network drive and removing air drop i cloud and local favorites. I have tried MYSides but this isn't compatible with 10.12.6. I have tried a few other scripts but cant seem to get any working properly with the latest update. So any help setting default save location and sidebar favorites to network drives would be brilliant.

Yeah, sorry we don't have access to that API anymore, only apple have the means to access that.
There's an old sidebar profile payload but that also seems to be dead.

Always nice to see Apple remove functionality without releasing updated methods...

Ok good old apple. Is there still a way to symlink from local to windows file share? this i suppose would also do the job as mysides isnt compatable. Prety sure the users could live with air drop but having documents desktop and downloads pointing locally isnt good. as they save in the default locations which will cause massive issues.

Or as a last resort is there a way to make local documents desktop and downloads read only so the users have to choose their network area?
