    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

If you are using headless mode:

 

1 - Stop all Dropbox processes

 

2 - Remove .dropbox and .dropbox-dist

 

3 - Reinstall using headless mode https://www.dropbox.com/pt_BR/install-linux

 

4 - Download dropbox.py again (version was updated)

----

Dropbox daemon version: 181.3.5515 <<< new version
Dropbox command-line interface version: 2022.12.05

----

 

now it's working for me |o|, thanks
