    Hi all,

     

    Thanks everyone who submitted tickets (and also the ones that helped here with info). 

     

    We've implemented a fix (as you some of you already reported) however, if you're still seeing that problem, you may be running into a separate issue.

     

    We can definitely look into it that for you if that's the case. 

     

    Thanks again!

    Sam

This is not solved. I'm having the same issue in Ubuntu, Pop! OS, and Fedora. If I use the command line client to link I get a different link every five seconds. I don't think it used to do that, it used to be the same link over and over.  Something is very wrong here and it's preventing me from attaching a new laptop to my Dropbox account.

 

Also, I'm on a family account, no limit to three devices for me, and I've confirmed I have no outdated devices attached to my account.
