For the latest version of proxychains, you need to prepend [ProxyList] at beginning of the config file:

[ProxyFile]
socks5 127.0.0.1 1080

However, this script is not working for me. :(
The app is not launched with proxychains4 open -a /Applications/Backup\ and\ Sync.app.

Does it still work for you? @ahgood
