Can't connect to Dropbox at all in Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS
Dropbox suddenly can't connect in Pop!_OS 20.04, I can't even login on the website (and strangely, sometimes it takes forever to load). I've already tried an advanced reinstallation, giving access to the specifics ports in the firewall, and nothing worked. But the thing is, I am running a dual-boot, and on Windows it works…

Files failing to save in Dropbox
I keep having this problem. I'll be working on a document or powerpoint and try to save it in Dropbox, and it just...won't save. It doesn't seem to happen if it's a document that was already saved in Dropbox, and I am updating it. It only happens when I try to save a brand new document, or when I try to save a document…

Sync started by mistake -- how do I undo this?
I inadvertently set up my new computer with Dropbox to sync with my entire Documents folder, which has over 300GB on it. Needless to say, I ran out of space on Dropbox rather quickly. I also use OneDrive, which keeps my files in the Cloud while still appearing on my computer. I am assuming there is no "UNDO" button to…
Dropbox Not Syncing and reached device limit
I wake up this morning and with coffee in hand, go outside with my Pixel 3XL phone, and snap a couple pics of where I'd like to place my new custom-made address sign on my garage.

Dropbox app is constantly creating desktop.ini files - how can I disable this?
As per the title; the latest dropbox is now generating desktop.ini files pretty much as soon as they're deleted (they were recreated only on dropbox starts earlier, so a delete upon startup was all I needed). This is detrimental for me; how can I disable this behaviour? They are pretty meaningless files, too, this is all…
