Hi @"danens1863", I agree with you, that many new "features" of Dropbox look like bugs. According your description, seems you are disturbing by a bug with name "Smart Sync". Very poorly implemented and as a result such issues come up. If you can, turn this feature (bug) off. If you need to save disk space, considered…

Hi @"Supermac", You can forcibly unlink your application from the account using following command: rm -rf ~/.dropbox After that, run the application and link back to your account as usual. Hope this helps.

Hi @"sleepysloth", I have no idea what exactly you have done in your account, but this isn't resulted by Dropbox application (if everything used correctly). Have you changed permissions in your account (intentionally or not) or some configuration changes? This could be a result of some sophisticated games with the system,…

Hi @"flyingmonk2231", The link you are looking on is a transfer link (not a shared link as far…

Hi @"Rick19744", Dropbox backup feature (if you are interested in it) isn't available on mobile devices at all (as far as I know). All other files (either regular file or other applications backups or other types) are just uploaded to Dropbox using Dropbox application or, if particular application embeds Dropbox API,…

@"Rick19744" wrote:... Recently when I follow this same routine I get a message "Can't save backup from here. Open the Dropbox app to save items bigger than 150 MB". ... Hi @"Rick19744", Send a warn to the supplier of your application, that emits above message. The Dropbox API support no more than 150MB content transfer on…

@"sleepysloth" wrote:Hmm, I tried that first and I thought I got the same error, which is why I tried the others, but now when I try it I get it says it can't open the file, permission denied. ... 🤔 That's not possible. Are you sure the command gets launched exactly as I have posted it - without any changes? Post the…

@"sleepysloth" wrote:... sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 65536 For the last one, I did have to install jq and tree but after that I got confused. I couldn't figure out where my .dropbox directory should be. My Dropbox folder is in /mnt/sdc1. I found a .dropbox in there, but when I…

Hi @"sleepysloth", Some more information would be helpful. Can you provide additional information about currently running application and environment? Post the following commands results (executed one by one): dropbox version dropbox status sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches How many files/folders reside in your Dropbox…

Hi @"johndoe5", Since Dropbox API is asynchronous, if not explicitly pointed out something else for particular call, you can't rely on any particular result. Any possible result, described in documentation, is... possible! So you must not assume anything, but strictly follow the API description. At the point, you have…

@"GazfromOz" wrote: ...I considered to unlink my application as you suggested ( Preferences -> Account tab -> Unlink... ) and link it back, however the selection to do so says "Unlink these accounts in Settings on web" and I was not 100% confident to action. Actually "unlink" means break the authorization between local…

Hm... 🤔 In such a case the email seen on your application should update automatically. Seems like some caching issue. Did you try quit Dropbox application and run it anew. Let's hope the cache content (including the email) will gets updated. If the issue isn't resolved still, you can try unlink your application (…

Hi @"GazfromOz", Hm... 🤔 Are you sure you "have changed" the email on your existing Dropbox account, but not have created completely…

@"mcarter" wrote:... PS: One thing you can try as a workaround, if there is nothing you want to sync in "Incompatible Software" folder, is move this folder outside your Desktop. Put it on some place outside of any sync scope. That worked - I am no longer receiving requests for my password on startup or reboot. Thanks for…

None response to my questions could be seen on screenshots you provided nor from your explanation! For example, I didn't ask if your Edge browser can open/handle html files or links, what you are tolk about! I don't have any doubt about this. Read more carefully, if you want of course!

@"mcarter" wrote: ...Can you post the result of following commands: ls -ld "/Users/drmarkcart/Dropbox/My Mac (Mark-Carters-Macbook-Retina-3.local)/Desktop/Incompatible Software/qmasterd" id 🧐 Hope result will shed some light. The result was: uid=501(drmarkcart) gid=20(staff)…

Hi @"G S.3", Are you sure you have used a component coming from the Edge browser? There is no any confirmation on this in the screenshots you have posed! What is going on if you try to login your account? 🤔 If you open a local HTML file, what is the browser where this file gets open in automatically (Edge or IE)? 😉 Hope…

@"Cris70" wrote: ...However, I have non-functional submenus: both the "Recently Changed Files" and the "Snooze Notifications" submenus do not show anything when clicked. Do you see the same? ... Oooh... I have seen the same for long, very long, time! Unfortunately... 😥😧😦👎 Dropbox doesn't care.

@"mcarter" wrote: chown: /Users/drmarkcart/Dropbox/My Mac (Mark-Carters-Macbook-Retina-3.local)/Desktop/Incompatible Software/qmasterd: Operation not permitted Hi @"mcarter", That's strange. Are you sure you have typed the command correctly? i.e. you haven't skipped the leading "sudo" and the command is: sudo chown -R…

Hi @"Igor Kaplanov", Are you sure for the validity of link(s) in use? 🧐 What's going on when you try the same link(s) in a browser' incognito window? 🤔 Hope this gives some direction.

If you ask me, did I tried? No, I didn't. I don't think it will work, becouse of number affected users (not just few) and variety of affected platform. Initially I thought, it's an application bug, but now if I have to bet, looks like fault on central (server) level. Of course can not be sure.

Thanks again @"GWS247", That seems like a bug in Dropbox system at all. Let's hope will be fixed soon. I and some other users (most probably all) experience the same. About the link, did you replace the ending "?dl=0" to "?dl=1" or "?raw=1" (whatever is more suitable for you)? Hope this helps to some extent.

Hi @"GWS247", Did you receive the same (or similar) message when you try create link pointing to the same file while using web interface? 🧐 Or you haven't tried yet. Can you share what is going on dropbox.com/home when you try create share link to the same jpg? Thanks, @"GWS247".

Hi @"EstherCD", Are you sure the particular file is on place? 🤔 Is the same result when you use the API Explorer? You can check what's there with listing of content (again, using API Explorer). Use the same token (otherwise the context could differs)! What's the result? 🧐

@"josephj11" wrote:It may be a separate issue, but one small thing still doesn't work. When I right click on a file in Dropbox from within Dolphin and select Copy Dropbox link, it says it did it, but I get something that looks like an empty entry in my clipboard.

@"josephj11" wrote:I actually meant what I said. Installing Nautilus made the panel icon work correctly ... 😮😯🧐🤔🙂😃 Ok... There isn't any direct relation between Nautilus and the panel icon (neither Nautilus nor panel icon have any ideas for each other), but... 🤷 as you have said!!! 😉 I'm not there, so I can be sure what…

Hi @"josephj11", That's look really old. Seems you haven't set up Dropbox repository. That's why the control script and plugin can't get updated automatically. At the beginning install the latest package. It will take care for the repository settings for you. In advance might be better uninstall the current package.…

Hi @"josephj11", You didn't mention what exactly is your Dropbox versions (yes - plural). Can you post the result from following command: dropbox version; dpkg-query -W dropbox 🤔 Let see what are your Dropbox application version, command control script version, and the plugin version for Nautilus. @"Jay", Just for info:…
