Can't un-exclude directories with `dropbox.py exclude remove <directory>` on Ubuntu 20.04.2

Same problem here.
Same problem here, reinstall and the update didn't solve anything. The only thing I've found that could reset my exclude list was removing the Dropbox application, the Dropbox daemon, and the nautilus extension.
When you add a folder to the exclude list, what dropbox seems to do, is to download that folder fully, and then delete it, and eventually, that folder's name will disappear from the exclude list out of no reason,,, even though it indeed is not being synced, and you can no longer sync that folder ever again without reinstalling the whole thing.This bug is hitting me as well. The workaround to remove the device from your account, then add it back won't work for me. My currently exclude directories are large. I can't add them fully back to some of my devices. I need to selectively fine tune the exclude list. This has worked for years just fine for Dropbox. Something's broken which affects this API.
Please Dropbox, fix this regression.
