Thanks for using Dropbox! Here are the user-visible changes in v89:
- Updated text on Mac OS 10.15 Catalina consent dialog to increase clarity that Desktop directory access is required for screenshot upload feature.
- Fixed an accessibility issue so voice over now declares the correct number of rows for the member list in the sharing modal.
- Linux 32-bit releases are now cross-compiled on 64-bit Linux

Does this fix a bug with files >2GB not syncing (in either direction) on 32-bit Linux?

No, I can say it doesn't. I have a ticket opened with Support (for the previous version v88.4.172), and I've updated it to say that this version hasn't fixed the issue either.

Hi bobas,
What actually this mean?! 32-bit builds was always possible to be used in 64-bit environment. What is the new thing here? :thinking: Aah... You have just discovered that's possible. :wink: Congratulations! :slight_smile:
The 64-bit build still has issues opening submenus! :unamused:

This notice is about how we create builds when releasing them, not about running them.
Previously, we would use a 32-bit machine to compile the 32-bit Dropbox application.
Now we use a 64-bit machine to compile the 32-bit Dropbox application.
There should be no regressions in functionality due to this, but, since the overall population of 32-bit users is small, we are unable to test every feature. This is a heads up so that users can tell us if they notice any problems.
Here is some more information about cross-compiling - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/897289/what-is-cross-compilation.

Customers don't care how you compile your code or app. Customers pay you for features or services which you provide. It doesn't matter 32-bit or 64-bit they are using.
Hire more QA engineer or take away the 32-bit at all. Otherwise provide quality product.
"This notice is about how we create builds when releasing them, not about running them." - you should run them and test before you upload it on the production server. Or correct or return to the backup quickly. And what do we see "Installing version 89.4.278 has not solved the "Syncing..." problem"....
"we are unable to test every feature", "users can tell us if they notice any problems" - I hope you are not developing software for cars.
