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.

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.
