Sync-Problem: Linux Mint 21.3 and Dropbox v194.3.6224

Hi, I have a silly problem. If I change a small file on my Linux machine, the dropbox-icon will get blue and will show "Syncing" for multiple days. After a really long time it is going grey again...

    Version Dropbox v194.3.6258 is working more better.

    For me the problem is solved.

    Thankyou

Thanks for posting this on our Community, JM2024! 

 

From what you mention, it looks like your Dropbox app is already running the beta app version.

 

However, can you send me a couple of screenshots of what you see exactly on your end? 

 

That'll help me guide you from there.

    Right. Maybe someone can give me a hint how to go on.
    I can wait for a bug-fix or new beta-version or take a released version or can do with the Dropbox-support some tests together....Please let me know.

      Hey JM2024 - sorry to jump in, but could you check if the issue persists on the latest stable version?

       

      You can find the installer here.

        Hi, it looks like that you published yesterday a new Beta-version, which was already updated-automatically on my pc.
        Dropbox v194.3.6258 is working perfect right now.  No unlimited syncing anymore.
        So I will take this version for the next days and will give you next week a short update.
