Syncing is stuck on my Linux devices, what can I do?
It seems I have the same problem as mentioned in above posts. I am running Dropbox on a pc and laptop, both having Linux-Lubuntu as the os.

I'm running a server with proxmox amongst other things, and Lubuntu is a VM on there (its the best behaved desktop linux to remote to), running docker and ideally dropbox. It has a 500Gb primary partition, and a 3Tb drive passed through from the host. I'm…
