Hi @"SeniorBlanco", Just some tips. You can check if the right e-mail (account) is associated with particular application instance, using a look at "Account linking" field in Account tab on Dropbox Preferences. To be sure that proper account will be associated, initially login your target account, in the web browser, and…

Hi @"Anjistar", As far as I can follow current discussion, your problem comes, probably, from fact that you are using one big directory for everything. The idea of "Selective Sync" is to remove from local filesystem everything currently not in use, so local space 'relax'. The problem comes from fact that files your try to…

Hi @"geoffa", Yes, "Selective Sync" dialog seems fixed, but the rest I noted about is still the same! :cry: Is there any chance everything to be fixed? :thinking:

Hello @"geoffa" and @"John L.2", While the focus is on GUI, can you take a look on Ticket #9583201, which is fork of Ticket #9534992? Other GUI components had disappear or are showing inconsistent. Some seems never existed (references inside). I hope for a qualified Dropbox Engineering will not need persuasion that noted…

Didn't work provided workaround (previous page)?

That's good - missing messages. If there are - errors could be expected. Did you try restart Dropbox? If this don't helps... :slight_frown: I will let somebody else... could have some more ideas.

Try the noted in this post.

Yes @"gmanfredi". That's right. At some later moment (let's hope no too far) back operation (unlock and allow auto update) is: chmod u+w -R ~/.dropbox-dist Good luck everyone. :wink:

I'm not sure understand you. Dropbox do the same thing... why rsync should be need? In such a way files will be transferred twice. Even more, for two file copies conflict situation can appears! @"marciano1" wrote: ... But it envolves bandwith, traffic plan, whatever, so it would be easier to "move" that large folder from…

Hi @"marciano1", :grinning: If you planne using rsync, what is Dropbox for?! Even for local server set (if you are using such) Dropbox LAN sync would be more suitable. Dropbox is sync service and when everything is ready and the application work, cloud content is in sync with corresponding local Dropbox directory…

Hi @"SandyDandy", Typical reason for such issues is permission problems to some(s) of your files/folders. Check for at least... :wink:

Hi @"Anjistar", What you really ask for? Your last question is rhetoric in fact. :thinking: Or I miss something.

Workaround is using version 79.4.143 while freeze (chmod a-w -R ~/.dropbox-dist). 🎅

Hi @"marciano1", Yes, like every one Linux application Dropbox need a session to work on. Unfortunately Dropbox application isn't a system service, but a client application (could be said client service, but i don't like that). So, it's need active session graphical or terminal! You can use any kind of session login (using…

Hi @"marciano1", If there is not something which is able to prevent that - Yes. :wink: What doubts do you have?

!!!BUG!!! "Selective Sync" dialog stopped work! There was such indications during beta releases - seems ignored. Please take care. It works in version 79.4.143. For more examples in beta releases where same problem exists, take a look here, here and here. Please, don't forget fix this "stable release" (especially in…

Hi @"Michael_XIII", Take a look at "Early releases" in your general settings. Make sure they are turn off. Can you post results from following commands: ls ~/.dropbox-dist | grep dropbox-lnx ls -l ~/Dropbox | grep New\ Signifer echo $USER @"Walter", Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu... all are same Linux distribution! Only…

Hi @"umor", Can you clarify, why you expect that parameters "start_date" and "end_date" are available? As far as I can see in documentation only available are "limit", "account_id", "time" and "category". :thinking: If you want to use "start_date" and "end_date", have to 'catch' them in "time"…

Hi @"umor", The "start_date"'s value isn't quoted! :wink: Hope this helps. PS: To avoid such errors in future (and easy find out the reason) use some local tool for check (like json_pp for example). :wink: Usually much more error details are available in such a way.

Hi @"LisaMVIP", Let me guess: You try rename/move folders in online only mode...? This is known problem and you already have done the possible: One more voice!

Oh... I see. I'm up to here. 😞 This is known problem, but without stable solution still, I think. One workaround would be for files, you need most, status to be changed to available locally. Probably Lusil's could be able give further advises.

Do you use "Smart Sync"? And if so, is there some relationship to the online status set?

Take a look on first Lusil's post above 😉

Hi @"DerekKelly", Why you use early release? Try turn off "Early Releases" from here and install stable one locally. :wink: Hope this helps.

@"enjayare", may be something else have happened. Probably immutable flag have been set. If so, you can trow it out using: "sudo chflags nouchg /Users/njrcon/Dropbox/Tender\ -\ 160\ Brook\ St\,\ Coogee" and/or "sudo chflags noschg /Users/njrcon/Dropbox/Tender\ -\ 160\ Brook\ St\,\ Coogee". Try it, just to be sure. Finally…

@"enjayare", another option, without to know root password, is while log in as 'test' to execute "sudo chown njrcon /Users/njrcon/Dropbox/Tender\ -\ 160\ Brook\ St\,\ Coogee". In such a case no so much privileges will be need.

@"enjayare", Are you admin on the your machine? It looks like no! Do you know the root pasword? If so, you can use the following: su chown njrcon /Users/njrcon/Dropbox/Tender\ -\ 160\ Brook\ St\,\ Coogee Try this.

Oh.. And don't ask for your password?

No, no, no, ... @"Lusil" this is not Dropbox application problem. Definitely!

Hi @"enjayare", Strange... :thinking: Did you try "ls /Users/"? What is the result? Also, what gives the command "whoami"?
