Dropbox files no longer inherit folder permissions
Within my Dropbox folder, I have sub-folders with different Windows ACL permissions. Up until recently, whenever Dropbox synced a file it inherited its folder permissions perfectly.
Now it no longe...
Same Issue! Thanks for posting, I have been pulling my hair out as well trying to figure this out. BAD MOVE DROPBOX! WHY WHY WHY! We have a lot of $$$ invested into our DB tools and the way we use them. THIS IS FRUSTRATING!
Did anybody ever end up getting more information from Advanced Support in the last few weeks?
Meanwhile, there's a new version (92.4.382) to test and be disappointed by in all likelihood.
We still have the same issue as well. Support only told us to uninstall and re-install. Not much of a support team.
Still waiting for a solution Dropbox.....
Latest word from support (this week) is that the engineering team is still looking into it, but in the meantime, they suggested the .dropbox.cache folder workaround discussed above.
Reading into that, I take it that they're admitting that something is going to be done about this feature/bug sooner or later.
The simple answer would be to roll back to the previous version that had was working perfectly well. Can picture them now, hanging off the fans throwing bananas at each other.
