Dropbox supports move folders in GUI only.

Hi @"MHBoise", Did you try "mount" either the separate drive or directory (using mount --bind) in Dropbox directory (or corresponding subdirectory)? If not yet, try it. Similar example with some additional options could be found. Take a look there. 😉 Hope this helps. PS: Just replace symbolic links with mount points.…

Hi @"michael34254", Have you used the "recursive" parameter in initial request (before /2/files/list_folder/continue)? :thinking: "continue" will just follows the "rules" set in initial call ("/2/files/list_folder" or "/2/files/list_folder/get_latest_cursor"). :wink: Hope this helps.

Hi @"athan13", Sorry for the confusion, where seems I have involve you in! More full expression: I don't mean you aren't sure what you have seen, but what actually "build-essential" depends on. And Yes, You are NOT sure about direct dependencies (indirect could be any of course)! Just try: dpkg-query -W -f='${Depends}\n'…

Hi @"athan13", If you aren't sure, don't post incorrectnessess, please. "build-essential" don't depends on "libatomic1"! About "gcc", "make" and others, they are mandatory parts of (almost) all Linux distributions. "dkms" kernel modules depends on them! About development packages, they aren't needed either to Dropbox or to…

I also thought the developers might not continue to monitor this thread if they consider the original issue fixed. ... :grinning::laughing: If you thought developers are monitoring some thread on this forum you are wrong. Only PR-stuff (especially Customer service) observe what's going on here and…

Hi @"asimpson417", Great, your issue gets resolved! :wink: BUT, that's not solution, but a workaround! So, final solution is still going prepared (let's hope). As you refer "posters would like an additional functionality" is not actually true. It's the same issue! What is the file type matter (encrypted or not)? :thinking:

Hi @"ajw1414" & @"markbroemer", Details about what's going on could be seen here. Hope this casts some light. :wink:

@"Robert778" wrote:I think the best long-term solution is for the change detection to be data agnostic. In other words, it shouldn't matter what's in the file. ... Anything else is just shenanigans. If DB insists on being "smart" about file types, you cannot use file extensions to determine file type. Analyzing file…

Mmmh... @"SyberKnight", That's application dependent. Some remove any old file before write new, others - no. Try save you new pdf version directly in Dropbox folder (not to move it after). If this don't do the trick read more carefully the documentation of the application in use what else could be done (if possible). Good…

To be sure what exactly happens take a look in "Version history" (see the picture): Select the ellipsis on right side of file line. :wink: Hope this gives right direction. PS: Match the events there to what you have done (time, date, etc.)... and restore the correct version.

Hi @"SyberKnight", I'm afraid you have done something in a different way. If you have followed everything as noted and you didn't explicitly remove the link, such thing wouldn't happens. Link should stay the same. Are you sure the shared link was never removed, from one side, and on other hand: @"SyberKnight" wrote:... i…

Ooohh... @"Fiona", :slight_smile::upside_down: My API related question is rethorical! I suspected you can't give direct answer, but I hoped your curiosity gets provoked. Anyway... the answer is more than clear. Let's see how the issue gets fixed (or we will left with the hope only). As I already mentioned, the problem is…

@"Fiona", Seems you haven't read my posts above careful enough (including links inside)! Ok I will repeat: Every one symbol which code is above 65535 (i.e. can't fit in 2 bytes) are unsupported from Dropbox system ( not just the application! ) for file/directory names. This was confirmed from development support (follow…

@"582374893" wrote:... I was browsing through my files and saw a file with a red cross on it, and after inspection it seemed it wasn't syncing because of an emoji in the filename. ... The problem comes from fact every one symbol is represented/ mapped to particular code. Dropbox as a system don't support all possible…

Hi @"Greg-DB", I hope you can add to the feature request, "~/.dropbox/command_socket" related, also support for "~/.dropbox/iface_socket" socket. The second one isn't only available on Linux, but also on Mac. Documentation for, already available, interfaces would be helpful and could meet many applications in practice.…

@"Fiona" wrote: ..." Files with a bad filename can sync to dropbox.com, but might not appear in the Dropbox folder on your computer, or work properly on incompatible operating systems. " ... Hi @"Fiona", I really like your enthusiasm (also your icon above 👍), but again read carefully the text you cite above. :wink: More…

@"corktowner" wrote:... I have attached the terminal output when attempting to start Dropbox. ??? Where? :thinking: @"corktowner" wrote:apt-get install libatomic1 Worked for Ubuntu 18.04. And... What exactly is the problem? :nerd: ... Ok. Great, i.e. you don't have any problems.

@"582374893" wrote:Is there a way to show all Sync errors in Dropbox?

Hi @"Fiona", On the…

:grinning::grin: May be that's a serious Dropbox drawback and have to be considered seriously. :wink:

Hi @"Fiona", There is discrepancies in Linux, also. On following screenshot is your post above in background and my menu - on foreground:

Hi @"BIMcollab", Actually you can. Just fire out "https://www.dropbox.com/logout" before ask to the user for new creditials. :wink: Hope this helps.

Hi @"Greg-DB", Actually it's possible, but is platform dependent and available only for Dropbox on Linux. :wink: Take a look in the socket "~/.dropbox/command_socket". @"Kyri", If your platform is Linux, you are happy, otherwise - have to hope something will change.

Hi @"Kyri", Actually you can't. The call is asynchronous and the bechaviour can't be predicted or forced. You should always check for 'has_more' flag set and get in loop until flag gets unset. Hope this helps.

Hi @"John B.234", Dropbox perform caching of all contents you have working on ( even when you want to see some full resolution picture, not just thumbnail :wink: ). The cache gets cleared automatically from time to time, but not too often. If your device free space is limited and you reviewed too many pictures at once,…

Hi @"Rick_M", The @"TL73"'s, question is reasonable. Note, Dropbox primary functionality is Syncing, not backup, even though such feature which mimics backup functionality, exists! If your needs are restricted just to "resurrect" unintentionaly deleted file/folder, it's Ok, but when you need full featured backup (for…

@"Julia20" wrote: ... We have included a fix in v86 for files that end in '.tc' and '.hc'.... Hi @"Julia20", Why particular extensions (file types) only? There is wide variety of encryption schemes/applications - with corresponding file types/extensions (or without extensions)! Is there some reason such limitations to be…

Hi @"Lusil", I'm not sure how exactly your application perform service related actions, but if the said in @"Walter"'s post is true, not just some "words" (unintentional error), seems your developmet have reached next fault (as a basic idea - not just typing error). The background services was never guaranteed to run while…

Hi everyone, At this thread beginning was noted a possible permission problem as a reason. I read everything up to here, but haven't seen any try, somebody to check for (or fix) eventual "pain source". Just some statements, that not a permission problem but nothing more. How is this confirmed? :thinking: Did you have try…

@"Luis28", One last check to see if by error your library don't match 64-bits: file -L $(whereis libatomic.so.1 | sed s/libatomic.so:\ //) The result should contain "ELF 64-bit LSB shared object". If result contain "ELF 32-bit LSB shared object" or nothing similar at all, there is something wrong in the library…
