Moving the Dropbox folder on Linux Mint 22.2 using the Dropbox desktop app won't work
I've gone over to Linux Mint 22.2, have dropbox installed. I want to move it to my data drive...no problem. I made the move using the dropbox app, pointing it to my data drive. It did the sync fine, moved the files over, and all is good. Restart. Upon restart, I get this error message, and can't do anything about it. If I do a relink, it automatically installs the dropbox back on my OS drive and ignores everything it had just done prior the restart. How do I fix this without reinstalling it on my OS drive? Thank you.
How to share a Dropbox folder between Windows and Linux installs on the same PC?
Currently it is impossible to share a Dropbox folder between Windows and Linux installs on the same PC. They appear to contain the same files with the same metadata, but Dropbox for Linux refuses to write to an NTFS partition, and similarly Dropbox for Windows refuses to write to ext4. Is there a workaround for this? I don't want two copies of everything. I have been a loyal Dropbox user for years because I believe in supporting software that does one thing and does it well, but this "no mixing filesystems" rule means I have to choose between Dropbox and my dual-boot. I would love it if I didn't have to choose, and I'm sure I'm not alone!

Dropbox desktop app Linux Ubuntu failed to install.
Hi, I just received an email about the new desktop app so I downloaded it and tried to install it but the install fails with an error on libglib2. My system is a new install of Ubuntu Mate 24.04 with version 2.80.0-6ubuntu3.1 of glib2 which is >= 2.40Dropbox for Linux using up a lot of RAM
Application Affected Dropbox Device Lenovo Xiaoxin Mini PC Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Debian13 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 237.3.5516 Question or Issue Within a few minutes of starting Dropbox, it consumes most of my machine's memory. My machine has a total of 32GB of RAM, and when it reaches about 25GB, the kernel's earlyoom is triggered, causing Dropbox to be killed. After I restart Dropbox, it is still killed within a few minutes, making it impossible for me to use it normally. I want to know if Dropbox has a feature to limit its own memory usage, or if there are any other solutions?
RAM memory usage goes through the roof
I'm using Ubuntu. Dropbix used to work fine on my system but recently something happened and when trying to sync files, the memory usage rapidly increases to max up 32 GB RAM, and then the system freezes and the Dropbox apps shut down. This happens when trying to upload a small file. What could lead to such a behavior?
