Hi @"Javierin", If the problem is unsupported FS, you can take a look here for workaround without changing anything else. Be careful about change in a variable name, noted below the script, which should be corrected by hand (dropboxforum bug) before use! DBX_WEB_src have to be modified to DBX_WEB_SRC, that's it. :wink:…

@"iiiyraegr" wrote: ... Please let me know where I can get earlier versions of the Dropbox installer, even if it is futile. ... Hi @"iiiyraegr", All available releases are visible one level up the current thread. :slight_smile: Take a look on page top ("Desktop client builds").

Hi @"JAS37", Might be more easy, as an workaround, the content get be synced, not the container. :thinking:

anonymous wrote:... want to access them from a dual boot Windows-Windows computer. ... Hi anonymous, Please note that the above script work and is tested on Linux only. Probably, might be usable also on Mac with some adaptations. There is no any chance to be used directly on Windows! Windows API is completely different and…

Getting back earlier version is platform depending way. Dropbox daemon autoupdates whenever possible. Do your system provides some way freeze it? If so, this is the way. 😉

HI all, Actual reason is Dropbox FS restrictions set: https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/system-requirements#desktop Take a look especially on FS restrictions for different supported platforms. Hope this casts some light.

Hi @"AndreyStrukov", Can you clarify, what you really ask? :thinking: In the error message is clearly stated: "could not decode input as JSON"! If you take a look on list_v2 documentation, can be seen that parameters have to be in JSON format. Where you encode your parameter ("limit") in JSON? Instead, you use 'QUrlQuery'…

Hi @"Ajay_Chawda", Seems you are using content multipart encoding. :slight_smile: That's not applicable to Dropbox API. Raw file content have to be used! :wink: Header lines have to be set in the main HTTP header block (other header types are not acceptable in this API - that's why they go in file content). Hope this gives…

@"layolayo1", This problem is still issue. As you already mentioned "no other menu dropdown has done or does this"! I can confirm that happens for long time (started might be a year ago). The issue is signaled. Would be fine to be solved finally. Even more, the issue isn't restricted to "Gnome" only, it's Dropbox…

Hi @"twometers", If you can't open Dropbox's site then the application can't be able to link any account and the problem isn't in Dropbox application, definitely, neither Ubuntu (not as a system, but can be some settings). Can you access some other (non company, external) site? You have to solve the network problem…

Line by line. Every line is one command.

Hi @"Rachel R.2", Can you try following commands in terminal: sudo chflags -R noschg "/Users/$USER/Dropbox" sudo chflags -R nouchg "/Users/$USER/Dropbox" sudo chown -R "$USER" "/Users/$USER/Dropbox" chmod -R u+rw "/Users/$USER/Dropbox" Will be asked for your password (sudo). Hope this helps. :wink:

Exact way dropbox uses to prompt for link depends on GUI availability. Could be web link printed on console, if GUI is missing. PS: Also make sure you are logged in your dropbox profile, in your default web browser, in advance!

Are you sure "~/.dropbox" folder is removed? If not, before launch dropboxd, try (while older version still locked): dropbox stop rm -rf ~/.dropbox dropbox start Can you see now dropbox asking for account linking?

@"witsend" wrote:* tried to install an older version, as suggested somewhere (sorry, can't find the corresponding ticket any more) Hi @"witsend", Did you "freeze" installed build before launch? If not, Yes, automating update follows! Hope this casts some light. :wink:

Hi @"vherasme", What is the file name you want to upload to (not the local one - 'myspreadsheet.xlsx')? You point only directory ("/my/folder/"), but not the file in side! "path" have to point to file where local content will be uploaded to. :wink: Hope this casts some light.

Hi @"MarianoBNewlink", This is in fact new way used to detect proper application. Not only file extension is evaluated, but also part of the file content, as "magic number" or "internal metadata". While your file is inaccessible (online only), such evaluation is impossible. Here is the issue root and your are not the only…

Hi @"ncw", Take in account that http header content have to be ASCII-based and if need (as is in particular case) names (and not only) have to be JSON-encoded. JSON encoding is missing in your case. :wink: Hope this helps.

:grinning: Ok, I understand what you say and generally agree, but... @"Rich" wrote: You should take your own advice, and pay attention to the part that I quoted in my reply. ... where you have seen what you suppose? Yes, that what you say is interpretation! Ok, let @"Sondos944" select what's useful and/or ask clarifying…

@"Rich", Read carefully initial question before commenting! Yes I agree @"Walter" formulation is correct. But in @"Walter" explanation the case is expanded outside @"Sondos944" question! Where you had read "multiple copies of the same file" at the beginning? In this context what is: @"Rich" wrote: ... (regardless of…

Hi @"Sondos944", As in your initial question: @"Sondos944" wrote: ... I need to know if it's possible to make changes on a file which is shared with many different members, I mean the same file exists in different folders and I want to change it once for all of them .. ... when you share some folder to another parties,…

Hi @"John L.2", I want to ask you, why are recently stable application versions so "stable" (especially in quotes!)? May be, for recent releases stable means beta and beta means alpha. Right? :thinking:

Hi @"Josh_S", Take a look here. :wink: Hope this helps.

Hi @"bhuwan", In your code shared link existence is expected! Right? What about if such link don't exist yet and is just created?! :thinking: :wink: Hope this gives some direction.

Everybody receiving shared folder can 'mount' this (same) folder using different name and place, so, in this context shortest answer is: Yes, it's possible.

Hi @"insch", Seems last "stable" build have some problems (especially work database initialization). You can try as a workaround install some earlier version (this one for example) to ensure consistent initialization and at next update (auto) everything would work properly. :wink: Use Offline installer to be sure that…

Hi @"mtozsu", You are welcome. Just to note: In "very system dependent" I don't mean OS! First of all to be able you must have corresponding permissions. Regular user don't have. Next, as I already noted, hard link and soft link are very different things. Soft link is on top level of your entire file system structure, so…

Hi @"mtozsu", If you can create hard link to a folder, could be expected that it will work. BUT, typically you can't! This is very system dependent and usually disabled. :disappointed_relieved: Hope this cast some light.

Hi @"mtozsu", @"mtozsu" wrote:... Or would Dropbox ignore the external folder? What you mean "ignore the external folder"? Can you define which one is external and which one internal? Hard link and soft link are very different things! "Link" in "hard link" is mostly metaphor. :wink:

You are welcome @"dhogan829". :wink: Glad I'm able help.
