Hi all, anyone else facing connection issues using this version?

On my laptop running LMDE & Cinnamon desktop Dropbox keeps showing the notification "Starting"  - but for whatever reasons it fails to connect to the Dropbox servers. 

Switching back to version 59.4.93 everything works fine again.

TIA & Cheers, Erik

Thanks for the report! I've filed it internally.

Dropbox 59.4.93 connects and synchronizes correctly in Ubuntu 18.04; when upgrading, Dropbox 60.3.89 refuses to connect and grays out forever. What is hapenning?

Hey @norbmor, thanks a lot for reporting your findings on our Community!

As we’d like to keep things neat, I’ve moved your post under the relevant thread (which is closely monitored by our app developers), in order to add your voice to the feedback gathered internally. Thanks again for posting us on the matter!

Today I've noticed that my Dropbox doesn't have a green icon and found that it stuck in "Connecting" state. It has version 60.x. I've tried to re-install it with `cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -` and it worked until it updated itself. After checking I found that version at `https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64` is 59.x and then Dropbox update itself to version 60.x.

Therefore it seems something has been broken in version 60.x. Any ideas?

Were any changes made to the logic in the Upload Limit | Limit Automatically logic?  At my vacation home, I have a low-bandwidth Internet connection and have noticed significant impact recently to other devies when DropBox is uploading, but pausing it resolves the issue.  Previously, DropBox has been able to upload without causing interruption to my other web traffic.

Hi JonNY79 - Thanks for the report. Filed an internal task to take a closer look.

Do you know if the issue started with v60?

Approximately what is the bandwidth on the low-bandwidth connection?
