Dropbox is compatible with Ext4 but doesn't recognize ext4 drive?
So, like most Linux users, I've gotten the message about needing to upgrade to an ext4 drive. I had an extra drive in my machine with nothing on it so I formatted it to ext4. I rebooted then went int...
I've found a workaround. Create a new folder within the mount point of your ext4 drive. Then, simply choose that folder as the target in the Dropbox app. Here's an example:
Mount point of ext4 drive:
/media/mynewdrive
Make new directory within the mount point, say "DropboxContainer". Now choose the following path (simply choose in the Dropbox GUI) as the sync target:
/media/mynewdrive/DropboxContainer
To confirm, your Dropbox sync folder would look like this:
/media/mynewdrive/DropboxContainer/Dropbox
In my case, it used to complain about the ext4 thing, but this workaround seems to have done the job. Please let me know if it works for you.
This solution did the trick for me, too. Thanks @AminSadeghi
Ah in the last 2 days the problem has magically returned again, after working with no problem for a month (it happened at the same time on 2 machines).
No idea what has changed. I presume it is a remotely activiated restriction. I'm sure I've not changed anything, after my gparted fiddle a month ago (posted earlier 11-13-2018 12:17 AM which fixed the problem on all 3 of my linux machines I use).michelfeu Just to clarify, what solution did you try, there have been a couple mentioned, one of which (mine) stopped working, I was a bit confused by the 3-steps from root solution, like it wasn't clear if that was fixable by us somehow, but you mentioned something worked ?

Hi, I created another director in /media/DropboxContainer, changed the permissions to user level (via chown) and redirected the Dropbox file to this location through the Dropbox menu. The program accepted it.
