    <description>&lt;P&gt;Since the start, that we added a dropbox daemon on our sambaserver, we face the issue of overriding the file permissions by dropboxusr. For new created files, via the dropbox, the permissions are set to:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-rw- -r-- --- dropboxusr sambausers&amp;nbsp; &amp;lt;filename&amp;gt;. Even if the set bit is set ON the directory. This means that all are server users (members of sambausers) cannot edit these files on their network drive (win10).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Our goal is to achieve:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;-rw- -rw- --- dropboxusr sambausers&amp;nbsp; &amp;lt;filename&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;we tried al lot suggestions of the dropbox community the last 5 years:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;a) editing the /etc/init.d/dropbox&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;b) setfacl suggestions&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But none of the ideas worked on our Debian9 system. So we are still looking for the ultimate solutions. BUT&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;we have already for a long time a workaround I want to share:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;as a root user we setup a crontab that runs every 5 minutes and chmod -R g+w &amp;lt;dropbox root directory&amp;gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It is not a nice solution but it works until we hopefully one day have the real solution for the problem.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
