If you have lost in the results, post them here. For example: how many files you have in your Dropbox folder and what's your current limitation? Are some errors coming from other commands I have mentioned? After leaving some time to the application, is there some progress and what is the status result comes from the last…

@"Iplicjian", Why are you trying build anew nautilus plugin? 🤔 I haven't noticed any complaint related to how Dropbox files appear on Nautilus! Or am I missing something? Your problem comes from work of Dropbox daemon, not something else. Most probably you have some file/folder attribute somewhere in your Dropbox folder…

Hey guys, Is there any problem installing prebuilded plugins, from here, instead build anew? 🤔 Download the debian package and run following while in directory where the package got downloaded: sudo dpkg -i dropbox_2020.03.04_amd64.deb Update the file name, if has changed in mean time (take a look on downloaded file actual…

Hi @"wen_hsiao", Wow... Where have you got the "cursor" from? 🤔 Are you sure it's correctly represented? Looks enormous! Check previous call where you get this cursor from. Hope this gives direction. PS: For info about different errors take a look here.

@"tiamat" wrote:... const { async_job_id } = await dropbox.filesCopyBatchV2({ entries, autorename: false, }); ... I get a response with a status of 409, statusText of "Conflict" and an error_summary of internal_error. ... Hi @"tiamat", Seems, someone (one or more) file with same name reside at destination already. 😉 If you…

Hi @"sarnaud", You have received error message that JSON parser isn't installed and that's why can't run! On the terminal output is advice (even two) how you can solve this. 🙂 Seems you haven't noticed it. Anyway... Just install it, using following: sudo apt-get install jq ... or using any other way convenient for you, and…

@"GioSomma" wrote:... I'll do some tests again. ... Hi, 🙂 Seems you don't know what I have told about or missing experience, if you need to test. Following articles can guide you in your first steps: https://kb.iu.edu/d/bdnt http://www.cs.umd.edu/~nelson/classes/utilities/xforwarding.shtml The above is enough to speed up…

@"GioSomma" wrote:... Since there is no GUI I cannot verify what is happening. I can only see if adding or deleting a file replicates it correctly, but I can't do anything else to check if Dropbox is working. Hi @"GioSomma", That's not entirely correct. Yes, you can't check current status on status bar or similar. If you…

Hi @"sarnaud", From that what you post can be only concluded that the pointed partition (sda1) is formatted in a way matching Dropbox requirements (filesystem ext4), but nothing more. If you have some problems executing my command above or parsing the result, post the result as is (together with the command as appear in…

Hi @"Oswego", I confess can't understand exactly what you mean. @"Oswego" wrote: ... we fetch the list of files to be synced with that particular user, we fetch the list of files that user already has synced, we go through both lists and check if something is missing and we sync it, we remove stuff in excess and we update…

@"Oswego" wrote:The organization I work for uses Dropbox APIs to sync manuals and firmware files located in a server, to the Dropbox account of its users. ...So, instead, we are syncing files manually. We periodically compare each user's files with the ones in the server and then sync them. ... The question is: is there a…

[user id] should be something like 'u235631156', not literally the same. Anyway... If the 'files' folder is empty, I can't say anything more. Sounds very strange! As a last resort you can try application reinstall.

Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/[user id]/scratch 🤔 Did you check there or not yet? Check it!

@"GioSomma" wrote:... Where am I doing wrong? Hi @"GioSomma", Actually, you weren't doing anything wrong, anywhere. 😉 Might be pointed some imperfections in your service file, but it's fine still. The problem comes from your expectations! 🧐 Note that Dropbox application is a client mode application, as noted in users…

@"PhantomRick" wrote: ... I have to manually download the files & had the scratch/[user] directory ... Hi again @"PhantomRick", I have no idea why you will need to "manually download" anything. 🤷 Dropbox application take care for this, usually, and keeps the content in sync. The "scratch" directory is something for…

Hi @"PhantomRick", Have you used "Make available offline" feature on the target files/folders to make sure they won't get off on some circumstances (primarily memory need)? 🤔 Hope this helps.

Hi @"sarnaud", It's important file system type as well as how particular partition gets mounted. Is it mounted at system boot up or at first query? May be more details could be get from following command set result: db_path=`jq -r '.personal.path' ~/.dropbox/info.json`; df --output $db_path; grep `df --output=target…

Hi @"Juan Karelse", Just set the correct email in your settings using edit link, next to the currently set email. Hope this helps.

Hi @"sverdon", You can enumerate all places of interest, using 2/files/list_folder / continue and for every one file considered target can create a shared link using 2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings. Once you get the links you want, you can make whatever you want with them. Hope this gives direction.

Hi @"jbiskofski", All right, since you have find out a solution working for you. Symptoms in your case are slightly different, for sure. 🧐 Your case is different, definitely, so don't mess them! Good luck! 😉

Read here and learn, if you want. Good luck!

Hi again @"tmelander". 😉 1 - Dropbox folder is a folder like any other folder in your computer, so nothing special, nothing aside of that I have said in the previous post above. 2 - It's safe generally. You have to be very careful while using some strange "features"! Read carefully everything before make some choice, not…

The reason I am calling the download API is I am trying to get the file data in arrayBuffer/BLOB so that I can upload the same in SAP servers. I hope this is the right way to get the file data. ... Yes, yes,…

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 -…
