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.

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:
nikhilmThis 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.
Hi nikhilm,
I fully agree with Hexrby! "Customers don't care how you compile your code or app. Customers pay you for features or services which you provide." Customers interest in working solutions and quality products! Yes, more QA is need, for everything. No for misbehaving (buggy) databases, which needs "refresh" (i.e. reindexing everything), from time to time, not very clear why exactly every time. That's the really important!
About cross-compilation: Are you count just adding one option '-m32' as a big and heavy new feature?! Seriously?! You don't have to change even the compiler! If you want to introduce new feature, try provide real cross-compilation for ARM architecture, for example. Something many customers would appreciate! If you want to know something more about cross-compilation, especially in Linux, take a look. The last, but not least, what kind of such compilation we are talking about, while the main application part is in Python (i.e. scripting language, which compile to platform indipendent bytecode) - only for few libraries?!
Good news is your "new feature" don't affect how menu appear of the 32-bit version (i.e. works, still). Unfortunately, the same statement isn't true for 64-bit build, still! For example, in 32-bit build every submenu looks like:
Same thing on 64-bit build looks like:
As could be seen, no any trace to any submenu (either changes or snooze).
Something else: while hover Dropbox systray icon the popups are different. For 32-bit build everything looks fine:
There is information what's going on. For 64-bit build such info is missing:
There is something wrong in your 64-bit build, as could be seen above.
There is also something wrong for both, 32 and 64 bit builds. File browser views stay inupdated after sync finished:
Please, Fix everything noted above!
