Dropbox for Linux Desktop no longer has graphical Settings?
Longtime Dropbox for Linux user here. Been a paid user since 2012. In all that time, Dropbox has been super easy to configure graphically, I just click on the tray icon and select Preferences and it brings up a nice window with all the settings -- selective sync, bandwidth throttling, etc.
Now today I go to adjust selective sync on this machine and it brings up this nonsense instead of the settings box:
"More Settings" just brings me to a help page on how to use Dropbox from the Linux command line. I don't need that. I need my graphical settings. I opened a support request and they basically told me that's the way it is now.
Anybody have any advice on how to get around this completely broken behavior? This is a dealbreaker. I don't understand why they would remove functionality this important to usability like this.
