    Thanks for using Dropbox and helping test our beta build! Here are the user-visible changes in v77:
     
    • Show the amount of space saved by Smarter Smart Sync on the Sync Tab in Preferences.
    • Add support for zfs (on 64-bit systems only), eCryptFS, xfs (on 64-bit systems only), and btrfs filesystems in Linux.
    • Fix issue where the share modal sometimes wouldn’t let you change the visibility of a document.
    • Fix issue that was preventing “Open Dropbox Folder” from working on Ubuntu 19.04.
    • Fix issue where Windows drive icons (e.g. C:\) show a red X in Explorer.
    • Fix the majority of “error 2” installation issues on Windows.
    • Fix issue where sync status labels are stuck at “Starting…” after Dropbox has restarted even though sync is working.

      I'm happy to see zfs/xfs/btrfs support back on the Linux client! However, I'm most excited about the eCryptFS support since I use that to encrypt my home directory.

      Is NFS folder syncing supported again as it was before? Waiting to re-subscribe for a confirmation on this.

    When can we expect to see these changes in the stable build? I was going to move away from Dropbox, but will stay if I can use it on my BTRFS server.
