Dropbox stuck on "Starting" after upgrading to Ubuntu 24.10
I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 24.10 and have noticed that Dropbox never gets past starting. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and setting fs.inotify.max_user_watches to 1 million and it still does not work. The reason for setting fs.inotify.max_user_watches to 1 million was because this was the number that stopped this happening in 24.04. Has anyone else come across this issue and has found a resolution?
The Dropbox application does not open on my Windows 10 computer
My Dropbox application does not open. I have uninstalled and installed again, I have restarted the computer but it does not open. I use Windows 10 Pro. I can see all the files when I open my account in the browswer, but the desktop app does not work. I can open it in an android, but not in windows."Access is denied" error after transfer of Dropbox from an old computer to a new one
Hi, My laptop screen broke and my software and data was mirrored on to my new laptop. My Dropbox files are on my computer, but the Dropbox App isn't working. For a short while I did not realize this, because I could actually save new files to what appeared to be my Dropbox folder. I suspect I have to re-install Dropbox. My concern is that I added new files to the dropbox folders that I don't want to lose. I haven't found a way to easily identify those files to preserve them by copying them to a different folder. One of the issues is that I get an error message when I try to access a Dropbox folder directly. I am pasting the log entry below. Is there a work around or do I have to accept that I have to loose the new files? bn.BUILD_KEY: Dropbox bn.VERSION: 202.4.5551 bn.constants.WINDOWS_SHELL_EXT_VERSION: 75 bn.is_frozen: True machine_id: 98a1da10-9452-4884-ac20-f29cb73449eb pid: 23900 cwd: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client' real_path='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client' mode=0o40777 uid=0 gid=0 parent mode=0o40777 uid=0 gid=0 HOME: None appdata: 'C:\\Users\\rlandgraf_surface\\AppData\\Local\\Dropbox\\instance1' real_path='C:\\Users\\rlandgraf_surface\\AppData\\Local\\Dropbox\\instance1' not found parent not found dropbox_path: None not found parent not found sys_executable: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client\\Dropbox.exe' real_path='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client\\Dropbox.exe' mode=0o100777 uid=0 gid=0 parent mode=0o40777 uid=0 gid=0 trace.__file__: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client\\202.4.5551\\python-packages.zip\\dropbox\\client\\ui\\common\\boot_error.pyc' real_path='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client\\202.4.5551\\python-packages.zip\\dropbox\\client\\ui\\common\\boot_error.pyc' not found parent not found TMP: C:\Users\RLANDG~1\AppData\Local\Temp TEMP: C:\Users\RLANDG~1\AppData\Local\Temp tempdir: 'C:\\Users\\RLANDG~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp' real_path='C:\\Users\\RLandgraf\\AppData\\Local\\Temp' mode=0o40777 uid=0 gid=0 parent mode=0o40777 uid=0 gid=0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "desktop/dropbox/client/main.py", line 8214, in main_startup File "desktop/dropbox/client/main.py", line 2691, in initialize File "desktop/dropbox/client/main.py", line 1702, in startup_low File "desktop/dropbox/client/main.py", line 1317, in safe_makedirs File "desktop/dropbox/fsutil.py", line 709, in safe_makedirs File "desktop/dropbox/overrides.py", line 241, in makedirs File "desktop/dropbox/overrides.py", line 241, in makedirs File "desktop/dropbox/overrides.py", line 241, in makedirs File "desktop/dropbox/overrides.py", line 254, in makedirs PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\rlandgraf_surface\\AppData'
