!!!BUG!!!
"Selective Sync" dialog stopped work! There was such indications during beta releases - seems ignored. Please take care. It works in version 79.4.143.
For more examples in beta releases where same problem exists, take a look here, here and here. Please, don't forget fix this "stable release" (especially in quotes)!

I'm completly agree.
Since latest actualization to 80.4.126 stable version, selective sync dialog has ben disappeared from preferences.
Please, fix it.

Also seeing this -- no selective sync window on this version.

Thanks for bring this up. I have same issues in Ubuntu 18.04. The Selective Sync button is not responsive. This is an important feature for laptop users with limited HD space.
Thanks, Peter

Hi all,
Apologies for this issue and thank you for the reports. The beta build should have a fix for this:

We are in the process of getting the fix into the stable build as well.
Thanks,
John

Simply unacceptable that you treat paid linux customers so shabbily. Smart sync does not work on linux, and now selective sync has stopped working. How am I supposed to use dropbox. Can I demand full refund? I am really tired and exhausted dealing with you folks. You made change my encrypted folders a few months back and now this. This is simply unaccepteble.

While the focus is on GUI, can you take a look on Ticket #9583201, which is fork of Ticket #9534992? Other GUI components had disappear or are showing inconsistent. Some seems never existed (references inside). I hope for a qualified Dropbox Engineering will not need persuasion that noted (in the tickets) is application bug. Your customer support colleagues seems can't understand that and also seems refuse forwarding to development team.
While on same topic, problem solving is usually easier (all at one). :wink: Hope very soon new stable build with all bugs fixed will be available.
Thanks in advance for your efforts.

Do you have a timeframe for this fix. I am unable to use dropbox without selective sync.

Linux client won't start anymore, I have issue on Arch Linux, but it's also present on Ubuntu.
It fails with: libdropbox_apex.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
