Hi @Megan, I won't comment the main issue of this thread, but want to comment what you posted (or rather what your "specialized agents" had posted). In the referred help topic (that's linked to) is no any limitation of the kernel version in use (there are other mistakes in advices that, if followed literally, may lead to…

Hi @vitiello , Execute following comand in terminal window: rm -rf ~/.dropbox Hope this helps.

Take a look here for possible solution/workaround.

@jperkins, if the used name is the same and the drive letter too, then all should work, but as it seems that's not the case. In this context your statement "If Dropbox is looking for C:\Users\%username% for its Dropbox location rather than using a predefined %appdata% location, that might explain the behavior we are…

Hi @jperkins, When you say: … This error only happens for this particular user; when I login on this computer it works fine. Had you move or rename the Dropbox folder (like the particular user has done)? 🤔 Rhetoric of course. 🙂 That's why you can use Dropbox application while at the same time the other user cannot do the…

Hi @Neal, You may reproduce this (and similar) issue on your own. Follow next steps: Open some Dropbox site page (let's say www.dropbox.com/home). Here you can see the default "Search" line near page top: 2. From your account preferences Initiate language change: 3. Now, select "Italiano": 4. Wait for a moment and take a…

Do you believe Dropbox team is still working on this?! 🙂 I'm not so naive. They just try to looks like they are doing something. Yes you are correct about their priorities unfortunately; Linux is not first class citizen here. If the application doesn't stop completely and the issue (whatever it is) doesn't affect most of…

Hello agan @amei_123, You're receiving the same view in the browser what you received before; and I cannot see any reason (something different in your code) to be something else. Why do you think it should be something else; what do you have changed actually? 🧐 In context of your statement - "The message port closed before…

Yes you can do what you want. As I described already you can use refresh token that doesn't expire on its own (like access token does) and so will be able to do it in the same way as you are doing it in test time without time limitation. You should keep in mind something else thought. Giving your private info to other…

@amei_123, while reading your post again, I can see that you're mixing different terms! You use "access code" for 2 different non-interchangeable things. The code you receive on initial authorization is one time use and its only purpose is… authorization, but not authentication! On other side in you post you're talking…

Hi @amei_123, If you are not sure whether your redirect URI is correct,… nobody else could be. 🙂 In general such URI has to point service listening for a request. In this context, do you have such a service on the place where your URI points to (i.e. on your "localhost" do you have something that listen on port 3000)? 😉…

Hello again @tiffanypham_2904, Just for clarification - the same folder, I posted before, but after size calculation: I hope comments are not needed. Just for completeness - option for size calculation appears when size is missing or it's there, but an approximation. Hope this clarifies matter.

Hi @tiffanypham_2904, It's very likely you are in confusion. How did you decide that you have "a critical data loss incident"? 🧐 If the only reason is missing last modification date (it's just a part of metadata; not the entire metadata), it's not a criteria for data lost! Dropbox manages only files last modification date;…

" href URL of the file the Saver should add to the user's Dropbox. The Saver supports HTTP and HTTPS URIs. "

I cannot agree that such URL are not supported. The documentation mandates data be passed as URL without any limitation of the URL type. Only limitation is set to possible scheme related to URL passed as href; nothing else! Even more, till recently it always worked! Some recent change disabled this; I think this feature…

Yes, and the response status vary between 429 and 500 (depending on file size). This used to work for long time… (I don't remember how many years) I hope this is not result of some "new feature" 👿… and it will be fixed soon.

Hi @ogawatomo, Refresh token is permanent and it doesn't expire on its own. So: 1 - No. 2 - No. Good luck. 😉

Hello, If somebody else got in the same "boat", just keep in mind that Dropbox refuses to support the discussed here feature. 🤷 As seems it won't be supported anymore. In the same context (related to firewall settings), despite Dropbox application continue engaging all ports, functionality provided by port 17600 (and…

Hi @katylindblad, You have confused about how Dropbox mobile application keeps offline files. Years ago it used to be possible to access downloaded files on your local device file system; later Dropbox disabled such access (don't ask why; nobody here would be able answer). Now mobile Dropbox application downloads all files…

Hello @maldini2 (or any other interested), Keep in mind that most of the messages coming from Dropbox applications are templated to such a big extent that they may loose their meaning entirely (as in the current case). In particular case, there is no any issue with the connection to any server! As it seems the connection…

Hi @Hannah, Is there some chance this issue be fixed finally? 🤔 (as already mentioned after more than 2 years) PS: Can you initiate improvement of new community view so old scripts to stay visible as well? 🧐 Thanks! 😉

The problem is that Dropbox application on Linux downloads the files actually, but for whatever reason when (at the end) it comes to move downloaded files from cache to their final destination, files with attributes got wiped out. After that the "sync" process start anew ans so few more times. After number of tries the…

Hi @nicole65, What you reported is an old known bug, but as most of the Linux related things, this bug didn't accommodate too much attention (no any attention actually from Dropbox support). The scripts I posted there are even no readable (the entire script is a single line now) after new community forums edition came up.…

Hi @Nancy, For a screenshot, take a look here (and on many other places throughout the forum). This is an old application bug! And Please, stop asking about system requirements! Appearing of such a message would be impossible if there was an issue with system requirements. Please, ask your "developers" (no unintentionally…

Hi @Neal, It doesn't become clear what actually is "expected behaviour! Yes, according documentation it IS expected behaviour and nobody disclam this as far as I can see. Something else can be noted though and it is on the focus in OP - "This is contrary to standard Unix conventions" as noted already. Does it something…

Hi @tingting4751, As you noted, this is not officially supported Dropbox API and so it's unlikely you receive official response. About "Does it record the time the file was first uploaded?"; Yes that's correct. About "does it update every time the file is overwritten/re-uploaded?"; As seems you don't understand that your…

Thanks for issue fixing! 👍 Let's hope it won't come back again… 🤞 … Good luck!

Hi @Jay, As seems your last Linux packages update passed with lot of troubles! (once again…) You don't need user to report something to detect that repositories are malformed (or most of them at lest). Do somebody of you (your team) even check whether something work before or after release?! 🧐🤷 Rhetoric of course. The…

Hello, Is there some chance, this to get a step further? Current Dropbox application version is 244.4.6580, but it's still the same behavior! Backend support and application development seem got asleep - no any "signs nor sounds". 🤷 One of the issues (I don't say all) is related to a change in single config line (could be…

Hi @"Neal", At the beginning, I want to thank you for your help till now - the last repository issue. Now I want to engage you in another one quite similar issue. It's about Year 2038 problem that DEB package system resolve with adding new naming schema. This change reflects in all recent releases of Ubuntu, Debian, and…
