Auto-updates: In progress
!!!BUG!!!
"Selective Sync" dialog stopped work! There was such indications during beta releases - seems ignored. Please take care. It works in version 79.4.143.
For more examples in beta releases where same problem exists, take a look here, here and here. Please, don't forget fix this "stable release" (especially in quotes)!
I'm completly agree.
Since latest actualization to 80.4.126 stable version, selective sync dialog has ben disappeared from preferences.
Please, fix it.
Dropbox Engineering here, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience, we're working on a fix and will keep this thread updated as we make progress.
Linux client won't start anymore, I have issue on Arch Linux, but it's also present on Ubuntu.
It fails with: libdropbox_apex.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/UbuntuMATE/comments/d0eqk1/cannot_run_dropbox_on_ubuntumate_1904/
Fix is to change permissions of libdropbox_apex
sudo chmod 755 /opt/dropbox/libdropbox_apex.so
Workaround is using version 79.4.143 while freeze (chmod a-w -R ~/.dropbox-dist). 🎅
Also seeing this -- no selective sync window on this version.
Thanks Здравко,
Worked! I downloaded the older version from https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-79-4-143/td-p/360015
It wasn't an installer so I copy and pasted the contents into my ~/.dropbox-dist and replace all. I restarted and it worked for a little while until it auto-updated, thereby breaking it again. Now I see what you mean -- I need to also lock the folder with your recommendation:
chmod a-w -R ~/.dropbox-dist
So far so good. Back in business, literally. :dart:
Yes @gmanfredi. That's right. At some later moment (let's hope no too far) back operation (unlock and allow auto update) is:
chmod u+w -R ~/.dropbox-dist
Good luck everyone.
Simply unacceptable that you treat paid linux customers so shabbily. Smart sync does not work on linux, and now selective sync has stopped working. How am I supposed to use dropbox. Can I demand full refund? I am really tired and exhausted dealing with you folks. You made change my encrypted folders a few months back and now this. This is simply unaccepteble.
Do you have a timeframe for this fix. I am unable to use dropbox without selective sync.
Thank you for letting us know it's being addressed, but for now I cannot use the application until it's resolved as the storage volume for my Dropbox folder isn't close to large enough to hold everything stored in the company.
It would be really great if someone could let us know if there is a config file somewhere where this is configured, so that we can just modify that instead of having to wait for the dialog to be fixed.
Thanks for bring this up. I have same issues in Ubuntu 18.04. The Selective Sync button is not responsive. This is an important feature for laptop users with limited HD space.
Thanks, Peter
Hi all,
Apologies for this issue and thank you for the reports. The beta build should have a fix for this:
https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-81-3-185/td-p/363774
We are in the process of getting the fix into the stable build as well.
Thanks,
John
Do you have a timeline for getting this into the stable build?
Hello @geoffa and @John L.2,
While the focus is on GUI, can you take a look on Ticket #9583201, which is fork of Ticket #9534992? Other GUI components had disappear or are showing inconsistent. Some seems never existed (references inside). I hope for a qualified Dropbox Engineering will not need persuasion that noted (in the tickets) is application bug. Your customer support colleagues seems can't understand that and also seems refuse forwarding to development team.
While on same topic, problem solving is usually easier (all at one). Hope very soon new stable build with all bugs fixed will be available.
Thanks in advance for your efforts.
Hi!
Regarding the stable build, we are working on it right now and are aiming to have it out today or tomorrow.
Stable Build 80.4.127 is available with the fix for the Selective Sync issue on Linux, apologies again for the inconvenience.
Good job, Folks.
Also expecting for the improvement of the response of the plasma-kde desktop applet in the toolbar while clicking on it. It delays so much and usually the "recently modified files" submenu doesn't work.
Let me say that in gnome desktop it works prefectly.
Thanks a lot.
Hello John.L2 and Geoffa,
Great!, and thank you for such quick response. I had made a temporary fix by downloading an earlier .dropbox-dist and copying that into the appropriate directory.
Cheers, and thanks.
