Hi Hannah,
Thank you for your kind words but the communication with support is beyond frustrating.
My main issue is that since the latest unwanted and unasked for update (Cloud Files API) that deleted thousands of files on my drive and left syncing in an unstable state: multiple Advance Reinstalls tries have never given me access to Advanced Settings. That is why I am here at the very first place.
After six days of snail email exchanges with entry level support agents, here's the answer I get this morning: "Since the set up fails to reach "Advanced settings", I suggest performing an advanced reinstall of the Dropbox application."
This is an insult to my intelligence !
Where do I need to go from here ? Is there a way to pay for real support ?
Or should I download my files. Cancel the service. And leave Dropbox with a disgusting taste in my mouth ?
