Problem moving Dropbox folder from linux to NTFS partition
Hello everyone, I have a dual boot system with 3 partitions, Windows 10, Debian 9 and a NTFS partition, that I use for shared files. I used to install Dropbox on both system using the same folder in...
Hi,
Why dropbox did this change?, it complicates the use for users with double boot.

Hi, Andres
Yes, I'm wondering that, as well. As I said, I used to have just one copy of the folder in a shared NTFS drive which I could access from Linux and Windows drives. They must have done that for security reasons, or something like that. As we might be a small percentage of users doing so, this will propably not be solved.
There is an explanation that you can read in this thread.
Hi Andres_Hernande and allanmariano,
It seems that I haven't explain (in my previous post) very well what I mean. And it is that, You shouldn't rely on workaround, coming from Dropbox. But, this doesn't mean that working workaround couldn't be found! Read carefully the refereed thread.. :wink: There are tips which can lead You to solution. Of course every such solutions could be temporary - It seems, We (I mean affected users) and Dropbox are playing game for mices and cat... :grin:
There are not any security reasons for such decisions! Security reasons pointing is bad excuse try for their marketing strategy.
Wish You a good luck.
