Hi @"arpit2011", Your first error comes from fact you haven't used proper file identifier or path, but a shared link. That's exactly meaning of the error message there. I'm not sure what's not clear. Your second message shows that for some reason provided id don't identify a valid file anymore. Are you sure the id is…

Hi @"tmelander", 😃😄😀 Yes, you have reason for such a remark to a large extent! Basically Dropbox is a syncing service (at least initially). Additionally there are added some "features" targeted to local drive space saving. Not perfectly implemented and also so "perfectly" explained. In this context: 1 - Both. 2 - Both. 3 -…

See, doesn't matter how you would copy your folder to or from! The only important thing here is: are all paths referred from everyone project point to the valid place (direct or indirect) in the new office or not? You have to take care for the absolute path for every one component (according to the configuration used).…

@"emossi" wrote: ...Does anyone has a tip on how to avoid this? ... Hi @"emossi", The software you refer to usually save absolute path in links, as @"Rich" mentioned already. For software using relative links should not be any issue. So you shouldn't think about relative, but absolute paths in your links! This could be…

Hi @"FreddoArgento", First when you comment something, clarify what exactly you have been comenthing, so to be more clear what you are talking about. Doesn't matter where you touch "Reply", your text will go at the end every time! @"FreddoArgento" wrote:... is $USER a "wildcard" or I need to type my user, ... When you type…

Hi @"rosstcorbett", You can vote up on my idea I just shared, so problems, like yours, (managing Dropbox as a server) would get softer. 😉

It's not something related to Linux! It's the same for every one OS (including Windows and Mac). Let focus on Linux.You are trying 2 subcommand (options) - status and start.The first "dropbox status" seems to work (isn't it 😉) and shows that dropbox daemon is working and everything is up to date. What about the second -…

Hi @"rosstcorbett", 😁🙂 The first thing on command line have to be the command! 🤔 What is the command name for the Dropbox application? Next to the command all needed options or parameters, If any, should follow. Are there such things in your commands above and are they ordered correctly? 😉 Hope this helps.

Hi @"vineet", What are you doing when you rename something? 🤔 Isn't the same like you're moving content from one file/folder to another file/folder (with different name) in a same directory? Take a look on: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-move 😉

Hi @"autratec", The only secure way to investigate what's going on would be take a look on the raw http stream and see what's the problem there. As far as I can see, there are 2 possible trouble points. In 'out_header' you miss the trailing separator, so header block and the request body could stick together. Add '\r\n' at…

Hi @"sbartan", Have you read "Request Data" documentation carefully? Make note on: By default, data will be sent using the application/json content type Little bit below could be seen: If you would like to send data using the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type, you should call the asForm method before making…

Hi @"ciobi", This bug affects only directory trees existing for a while. A new (relatively) directory tree isn't getting affected. So, a workaround could be moving affected trees in new directory, which serves as a alternative root. Let say, you have folders 'Folder1', 'Folder2', 'Folder3' and 'Folder4' inside your Dropbox…

Hmm... I haven't used folder downloads (and don't plan to use it), but this question make me curious and Yes, I can confirm: Dropbox use very strange zip format (variant of the format)!!! Would be fine a regular zip format be used for better compatibility, not some strange format fork. 😟🙄😱

Hi @"Darrell20", 1. Not actually. Web access is enough. 2. No, definitely. 3. Not exactly! You need to share a specially prepared link to actual file or folder, not just some link. For more info take a look here. 4. Could be, If desired. Usually not needed. 5. Personal account is private. Share things are only those…

Hi @"KingswoodCountry", Your error message have said where exactly is the problem - i. e. missing library "libglapi.so.0". Where did you decide from that the missing library is part of "libatomic1" package?! Particular library, on focus, is part of "libglapi-mesa" package. 😉 I believe, you know what has to be done. Hope…

@"Rich" wrote: ...Instead, you want to use Smart Sync. ... :grinning::grin::laughing: Where you got this crystal ball, @"Rich"? Let people decide what they want! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Hi @"vickibristol", As far as I can see you want to save particular file set on Dropbox and remove them from the local Dropbox folder completely. Such thing is possible, but not on per file basis! You can un-sync one or more folders and all content, including files and/or subfolders. So might be need a file rearrangement,…

Hi @"jimbob1977", What are results from following commands: host content.dropboxapi.com stat /Splash.jpeg If the above commands results are as expected, probably you have messed up curl command arguments. Try to put everything on a single line: curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload -H 'Authorization:…

Hi @"jimbob1977", If you run Linux, the best place of your question isn't API section. You can get link to arbitrary file in the Dropbox folder using CLI. Take a look on "sharelink" command. :wink: Unfortunately, CLI is available only on Linux, so if you run something else, this advice isn't for you (or at least, if you…

Hi anonymous, Yes, You are absolutely right; that what you say is upcoming bug (if Dropbox won't take care, as usual)! Let hope this time the status won't be broken application and after that some action, but... we will see. Just to note, the topic was about something related (somehow), not the same! So the discussed…

On every one run Dropbox application either removes desktop file from autorun (when no selected) or copies dropbox.desktop from applications to autorun. Preventing this action (doesn't matter how) or modifying the source (accordingly) gonna be a workaround. 😉

Hi @"eddiesaliba", I fully agree! Unfortunately Dropbox don't take care. You can try delay the starting process or, as @"bnpndxtr" mentions, try remove "-i" ending in the command of Dropbox desktop file, but not in "autostart" of your user folder. Make the change in "/usr/share/applications/dropbox.desktop" and restart the…

:slight_smile: If you aren't sure what my advice mean, better keep your way of coding for now. Would be enough to concatenate file name to the folder path. Transform everything in your code which seems: dbx.filesUpload({path: '/' + fileName, contents: file}) To something like: dbx.filesUpload({path: '/' + folderName + '/'…

Hi @"h_vohra", I'm just curious, Is there any problem outside fact that you put your file on root level, not in just created folder? You don't report any actual issue! One advice: when you refer to particular place (folder), it's better practice avoid path in text form, use id instead. Just advice, nothing more (id is more…

Hi @"Walter", I think you are trying avoid to say that Dropbox ignore Linux users; you definitely know that this bug is very old and is completely ignored from Dropbox development! I understand, it's not very convenient; if you say something your salary can stop. Hi @"bnpndxtr", The problem comes from an imperfection in…

Hi @"Cortex76", That's exactly what Dropbox tries to do (not always successfully). Such a strategy is very wrong! The only right way is proper declaration of needed packages, not include them in one place (systems change over time). The exact reason related to libatomic1 was missing declaration and Dropbox developers rely…

Hi @"Mandy Xie", Just navigate to your Dropbox directory in a terminal and run following: chmod -R u+rw . Or if you never changed the folder place, just run: chmod -R u+rw ~/Dropbox If there isn't something more than permission issues, this has to help. :wink: Good luck.

Just launch: sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=libpango1.0-0 -i dropbox_2020.03.04_amd64.deb

Hi @"Xavier-G", The issue comes from fact - corresponding package name seems got changed (probably temporary). As a workaround, ignoring dependencies, you can "install" the package by hand (suppose all needed libraries persist), copy contained files on the corresponding places. :wink: Good luck.
