Linux Mint 20 : DropBox no longer syncing despite syncing icon!
Hello all. I have followed the suggestions made by others but still I am not syncing. I upgraded to Linux Mint 20 yesterday and everything works as it should, except DropBox; a key app for me. I note...
STOP PRESS!
In the last 5 mins (just after I had posted the above). The folders and files have miraculously updated without any apparent syncing taking place!
It seems to be working.
I shall harvest the commans used in case I need them in the future. Meanwhile, thank you all very much for your patience and help.
Regards from a locked-down SW France.

"Why are you trying build anew nautilus plugin?"
Personally, I have no idea! I am merely doing what I am told. Nautilus means nothing to me. Previously Dropbox was syncing fine. I upgraded to Linux Mint 20 and it simply ceased syncing despite the icon suggesting otherwise. I would doubt that there are files name problems as my Apple Macs have no problems; not does our Win10 PC; just the Linux Mint 20 box.
I was really hoping that someone here would have resolved this problem.
Happy to start over if anyone things that this would resolve.
Ready (again), to do what is necessary but please DropBox tech team, let's get this sorted. Thanks in anticipation !

So, aftre all of that, we are back to square one. The Doropbox icon is in the system tray showing Syncing 24x7 with the "recently chnaged files" being those of nearly three weeks ago.
PLEASE Dropbox tech Support. Give me step by step instructions on what I need to do to get Dropbox working again under Linut 20.
I hope we can make one more effort to sort this.
Thanks in anticipation again
