    Hello, I'm back with great news. The problem is fixed for some reason. I don't know what it was but I recently installed some updates, maybe the problem was something with Nautilus and Ubuntu patched it?

     

    Anyway the problem is now solved.

Thanks for all the info allard; it really helps!

 

Can you also clarify what’s the current syncing status of your Dropbox app, as well as the app version that it’s running on your computer?
