Hi @"Greg-DB", Sorry for my fast response. Seems in particular case the names are not encoded properly, Yes. I just assumed that a developer know that http(s) transport is ascii-based. One provocative question in this context: Is You site (dropbox.com) follow the rules You just describe above? What I mean: After a try to…

Hi @"CFGtech", The answer is very simple, but unfortunately not good. Dropbox Unicode support is not full. I already have mentioned for this here (including in a ticket). Your query is one more voice. :wink: Let's hope we will see proper support someday.

Hi @"Daphne", While passing information to dev team about this issue, may be it's good to be added the fact that Dropbox don't recognize file move from file copy and delete! This is very important and noted multiple times in the forum, but seems without enough attention from Dropbox side. File moving is generic operation…

I'm a user like You. I'm not dropbox staff! Probably if You have more questions, Dropboxers can helps. I'm happy if my advices has helped You. :wink: Здравко Гърмев

Hi @"dbagadia", About the command line: Yes, You can, but I can't see any reason You should do that. But anyway, You can run the Dropbox daemon as You do to any other program. I will advise You to use the autorun functionality. About the username/password: Dropbox is using OAuth. At account link time (during install), new…

Hi @"dbagadia", :thinking: Using any endpoint from Dropbox API suppose driving in context of OAuth session. This in turn suppose access to a Dropbox account from both parties (either shared or 2 connected). Dropbox application is example for a utility which use the API and ready for use. In this context I can't see a…

Hi @"dbagadia", There are number of scenarios You can choose from. Most simple is, if You and the external party believe to each other so, the both of You can share the same account. In such a case You dont have to use any API. Just any device (desktop, laptop, phone, tablet...), where access to the shared files is need on…

Hi all, Anyone, who want direct access to the corresponding file, can replace ending 'dl=0' or 'dl=1' using 'raw=1'. Hope this helps. :wink:

Hi @"Nakturnal", Are You using beta version?! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Go to stable! Hope this helps!

Hi @"Diego5", May be one clarification can help. Are You using 'Selective Sync...' and if so, are the movement directed inside such a place? Hope this gives some 'hooks'! :wink:

I use Dropbox in Ubuntu and (if we ignore the relatively bad support) it work fine. Seem I wasn't clear enough about the mapping. I haven't used VmWare, but in VirtualBox, for example, without using any external tools, You cat select some folder in host file system and map content as content of a virtual drive in the…

Opp... Hmm... @"Pummelchen", One note here. The Dropbox debian package is little bit buggy :dizzy_face:. There are no any dependencies ceclared! So, You have to ensure that everything declared in system dependencies page is installed, the package manager can't ensure this (dependencies - missing)! Nonetheless, what about…

Hi @"Pummelchen", I will share some my experiences, may be similar to Yours. Sometime ago, every try to open Dropbox icon context menu for first time after service start, result in partially visible menu or entirely invisible. In addition it was impossible to close it using simple click on empty place or something like. It…

Most probably. From the system support point of view - same system set are supported (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android). The conception is little bit different. As I noted above, full virtualization is used and this is the basic part (on Dropbox the basic is direct directory sync), after that You can choose what and where…

@"readymade", As @"Lusil" already noted above, this is not fully supported on Dropbox.

@"readymade", Something more: Because the file will not be available locally to use it You need network! May be, if You want full virtualization, could choose another service like pCloud for example (there is drive/partition virtualization, not only the file system elements).

Sounds strange?! Why? Didn't You heard about different kinds of virtual file system? Typical case is NFS, also for Linux and Mac - FUSE (on Windows there are equivalent API)...

@"readymade", take a look at: https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/sync-uploads/smart-sync

Hi @"readymade", There was a small error in @"Lusil"'s explanation. In fact to work would be need You to use 'Smart Sync'! If 'Smart Sync' isn't active then You are right - file will be locally saved and without any sync. If 'Smart Sync' is active then files saved will engage minimal space (in fact buffering) and will be…

@"Lusil" wrote: ... For this reason, if you:* Dragged and dropped the file: It should be removed from the Dropbox folder and exist only in the new location. * Copied and pasted the file: Then it would exist in both locations (the Dropbox folder and wherever you pasted the file into). ... Hi @"Lusil", I want to put here one…

@"Rich" wrote:... No one ever said there was a technology reason for it. No one is debating that. Dropbox simply doesn't support it anymore. Technically they never officially supported it, but it worked. Almost, but not exactly! In fact You are right, there wasn't (and is not) any technology. Dropbox (or any other such…

Hi @"chasDSO", Yes, You are absolutely right! I don't know (and not just me) why Dropbox set this limitation. My work is just workaround the limitation. :slight_smile:

I don't use selective sync, so this is not tested.

Hi @"paloi", Yes, I reinstall it just to be sure (after detecting that the last publication wasn't the recent). Exact function is: mask the underlying filesystem, so for Dropbox it looks like Ext4 (doesn't matter what is realy). The change is only how it looks like, there are no any actual changes in real filesystem.

@"TripleS", Sorry, my last publication was one of my drafts. For sure it will not work. It was debug version (some syntax error was still there, missing punctuation). After install I didn't use it for long time (multiple versions was on same place). The next is the last actual version: #!/bin/bash…

The script part is entirely mine and C-code is derived from number other publications. Ooo.. I didn't see the question for test! Yes, I currently use it. :slight_smile:

Hi @"altofocus", Did You check this: drivehq.com :wink:

@"Hypersphere", I partially agree with You. Just one clarification - RHEL use much older versions than Ubuntu and Fedora! So would be no problem to transfer application from RHEL to Fedora for example, which isn't true in opposite direction. Anyway to support 'SmartSync', FUSE availability is enough, which is true in all…

Hi @"Hypersphere", I can't agree, that linux isn't a single OS. Linux is single OS with multiple distributions (in fact tree of distributions). Of course, like anyone OS, there are different versions. I don't know exactly why Dropbox ignore Linux support, but there are FUSE capabilities available for everyone (present day)…

Hi @"nocibambi", No, no... It don't make this issue hidden for support team. Every one post on any one thread (including mark as accepted) is on support team attention. Another story is the processing level provided from this "support team" (just PR staff). Like many other things, probably this issue never reached (and…
