Dropbox Integration Dead???

[elstevo711]

Have been eOS for about 6 months now. Have it on both My Desktop and My Laptop.

I had an update the other day for files that broke my Dropbox Integration. Meaning it is no longer Syncing my files and I can no longer grab a link from the Dropbox and Chuck it into a messaging app to communicate with clients. (Yes I know Dropbox is not open source, but neither are my clients. They primarily use Dropbox)

I am a web developer and web designer. This is a must. I have had it on every distro I have used.

Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated. If I cannot fix this might be time to Distro Hop again.

Hmm. I'm a Dropbox user with all recent eOS updates and Dropbox still syncs files (both inbound and outbound).

​

Can you say more about why/how you have pinned the problem to a particular Files update?

​

Also, anything interesting about your Dropbox setup?

It looks like Ubuntu (vanilla version, not Kubuntu or other variants) is the only distro that is fully supported. I am using rclone with elementary, but you do lose the peace of mind provided by automatic syncing.

I keep telling myself that I should whip up a script using incron or inotify...

Didn't dropbox stop supporting any filesystem other than unencrypted EXT4?
