!!!BUG!!!
"Selective Sync" dialog stopped work! There was such indications during beta releases - seems ignored. Please take care. It works in version 79.4.143.
For more examples in beta releases where same problem exists, take a look here, here and here. Please, don't forget fix this "stable release" (especially in quotes)!

I'm completly agree.
Since latest actualization to 80.4.126 stable version, selective sync dialog has ben disappeared from preferences.
Please, fix it.

Linux client won't start anymore, I have issue on Arch Linux, but it's also present on Ubuntu.
It fails with: libdropbox_apex.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Fix is to change permissions of libdropbox_apex
sudo chmod 755 /opt/dropbox/libdropbox_apex.so

Workaround is using version 79.4.143 while freeze (chmod a-w -R ~/.dropbox-dist). 🎅

Also seeing this -- no selective sync window on this version.

Thanks Здравко,
Worked! I downloaded the older version from https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-79-4-143/td-p/360015
It wasn't an installer so I copy and pasted the contents into my ~/.dropbox-dist and replace all. I restarted and it worked for a little while until it auto-updated, thereby breaking it again. Now I see what you mean -- I need to also lock the folder with your recommendation:
chmod a-w -R ~/.dropbox-dist
So far so good. Back in business, literally. :dart:

Yes gmanfredi. That's right. At some later moment (let's hope no too far) back operation (unlock and allow auto update) is:
chmod u+w -R ~/.dropbox-dist
Good luck everyone. :wink:

Simply unacceptable that you treat paid linux customers so shabbily. Smart sync does not work on linux, and now selective sync has stopped working. How am I supposed to use dropbox. Can I demand full refund? I am really tired and exhausted dealing with you folks. You made change my encrypted folders a few months back and now this. This is simply unaccepteble.
