Hi @"cipherguru", Yes, you are right. Unfortunately seems Dropbox had changed their way to check used FS. Some time ago the check was independent for every one FS element (file or folder). Now seems full FS check is performed only for the Dropbox folder, itself; further, the folder content is checked to be part of the same…

What are these intermediate mount point for (i.e. "~/CTest" and "~/ETest" in your examples)? They are meaningless. Only increases the load to some extent, nothing more. Are you sure the owning and access rights are set as needed on the other storages (i.e. to you)? I can't see a result from commands like: ls -al…

@"auspugs" wrote:... The main requirement in windows is, that both the hardlink and the folder, is on the same hard drive. ... Hi @"auspugs", Just one clarification! It's NOT enough "both the hardlink and the folder, is on the same hard drive"! They have to be on the same block unit (in most cases, this mean - same…

Hi @"cipherguru", I have no idea what exactly you are doing, but I can show you what's going on in my case. :wink: "Workaround" script is installed and Dropbox runs. Follows some commands executed exactly in sequence (and the corresponding results): $ mkdir ~/ATestDir ~/Dropbox/ATestDir $ echo "Just some text for test. ;)"…

@"cipherguru" wrote:I guess its my lack of understanding of C++ and Ubuntu but I could not understand what you meant by "(just change device mount to binding)" ... Hi @"cipherguru", Actually, there isn't any C++ code! Where you see it? API layer functions are C functions, not C++! Other (biggest) part is a shell-script…

Hi @"draylson", Waw... That's little bit strange (might be not so little bit). Seems, your 'sysctl' command behave unusually. That what you have done is exactly for temporary set (not permanent)! The same is noted in the link you refer to. Anyway... while works for you everything is Ok. :wink: Dropbox tries follow every…

I'm up to here. Probably @"Greg-DB" can propose some additional checks.

Wow... If content of 'data' field match exactly to the posted file... hands up... I haven't more ideas. Isn't there something missing at the end? The content there is JSON-ASCII encoded! Decode it before compare if need (or opposite). For example, encode the file you passed using: python3 -c "import json;import…

Hmm... You can try another diagnose way. Check if the transaction completes successfully using something like: curl -v -X POST https://httpbin.org/post -H "Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -H "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/Cromosoma.cc\",\"mode\": \"add\",\"autorename\": true,\"mute\":…

That what I can see is you had send 4 bytes less than Dropbox expects and the confirmations given are for packets that the server doesn't signal for... Bug in the software!

Hi @"Andrew1983", Without know your email you can't change anything - the email is your user id! If you have a device connected to the account still, you can check there for the exact email. If you haven't access to the used email, that's a big issue; regular password reset becomes impossible. If your mobile device is…

Hi @"Greg-DB", Take a look on your answer here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-Support-Feedback/links-for-multiple-files-in-a-shared-folder/m-p/335074 :wink:

Good idea for new feature request. A feature - currently not available for Dropbox API. Good luck. 😉

Wow... That's strange. :thinking: Make your own investigation, what's going on. Try crosscompile working desktop version and see if the behaviour changes. If I'm in your shoes, this would be the first check. Try if same file transfer gonna completes on desktop version.

Hi @"ags65", That's a old curl feature currently almost deprecated. The idea is when relatively big file have to be passed, credentials to be check in advance, so prevents get notification for invalid credentials after passing everything. Generally something useful. But seems your curl version doesn't behave as expected.…

Take a look here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#authorization :wink: This is normal GET request, where all parameters are in the query.

Hi @"thejerrybryan", You give the answer to your second question. About the first: Didn't my first comment here (second page , at the end) gives enough information to you (for the issue nature, at least)? About the reason: Probably, customer support peoples here don't have any idea too. :laughing:

@"Hank_J" wrote:... The only sticking point I can think of is file permissions, which I should be able to deal with using ACL rules on the server. Anything I'm not think of? If you count the owning as a part of permissions - Yes - that's the only issue. And you should take care of. You can run Dropbox and NFS server in the…

The Dropbox staff just tries to learn what's crosscompilation, so don't rely too much. Use some third party application, of your choice, or create your own. :wink:

Take a look here: https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/

If you are newbie, learn some basics of Python syntax, at least. On your question: there is keyword 'return', as in many other languages (like C/C++, Java, Kotlin and others), which denote the returning value. This keyword could be used more than once, whenever the algorithm have a value ready to return. When such function…

Hi @"yekootmada", Your code will work when you refer to actual metadata! Where in the code you get the uploaded file's metadata?! :thinking: Only in the function you use! :wink: This function don't return anything yet. Just return the metadata as a result (small modification) and use it further after. Out of your question:…

Hi @"draylson", Take a look here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-files-folders/Syncing-is-stuck-on-my-Linux-devices-what-can-I-do/td-p/391587 (might be the same).

@"rosstcorbett" wrote:... Dropbox seemed to have stopped working. So I went onto the terminal to restart it. When I tried to restart it I got ... Hi @"rosstcorbett", First, how exactly you try "restart" your Dropbox application? Dropbox work don't have be related in any way to used "root" service. Where you exactly receive…

Hi @"Lak1", Are you really trying access updated version of the same file or new file using the same name?! The question is rhetoric of course. What I mean... If you update existing file in the most simple way (last depends on your actions, as on software you use - sometimes editing programs are guilty) then new version of…

pCloud can transfer what you want, for example. If you sign up there, just select your Dropbox account and let the service do the rest. 😉

For temporary switch to bash shell (and not only), just run 'bash' command would be enough (no sudo, no turn forth and back). At the end just close you terminal and everything would be back. :wink:

Hi @"Jay", Didn't you forget something? :thinking: Question is to list files in a directory (in particular - Dropbox)! Your command will try list just one file (probably missing yet). :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: The command output have to be redirected to text file (no try to list this file): dir path\to\Dropbox /b /s >…

Hi @"Subtotalatom", There are different ways. If you plan use your code only on default location for Dropbox folder, then just replace initial part "C:\Users\kurti" with result from Environ("HOMEPATH"). This is the simplest way, but wouldn't work in case of moved Dropbox folder or in case of combined Business and Private…

As far as I know, there isn't such way, but user should gonna be asked for add new application instance, in such a case. After that, everything is user responsibility, new app instance or rejects and tries usage new Dropbox account. You can't get in there, would be Dropbox security issue. Does something else happen? You…
