Where's the Linux preferences GUI? The CLI doesn't work.
The title says it all. While setting up a fresh laptop with EndeavourOS, I was able to load the UI from an older installation for a moment until it closed itself. This usually happens when the app is running a self update, and given this was a 2 week old backup, this makes sense. Upon loading it up, the Preferences option now loads up a window with the following: Why? Why was the old preferences UI removed in favor of this? This isn't an upgrade in the slightest, and clicking More Settings simply takes me to the CLI instructions page. While this is okay for me, it isn't okay for my family who is making the switch over and are not terminal warriors. Well, that would be the case if the terminal command even worked right: So, I really do have to ask: what is going on here and how can I have my older, at least functional, GUI back?
File name is cut off on the Dropbox site
How is it possible for an app this old to still not allow a user to alter the field length? 20 odd characters is grossly insufficient for anyone with real organisation habits. Why can I not simply see longer file names? Why? What is the justification for this? Take myself, a 3d modeller. I constantly have files that are categorised by project/object/component (often with more additions like side or versions). It's maddening. We're nor working in 1024 resolutions anymore, we've all got second or third monitors. Screen real estate has never been higher. So why are we stuck with this archaic restriction? Every website I go to can adapt to window size but Dropbox is acting like it's still 2007. If this isn't fixed we're going to stop paying for it.
How to expand left sidebar width on the website?
How can I expand the left sidebar width. I have many levels of files and I can not see the names of folders that I want to move files into. As you can see below, all I can see is the first letter of the folder "A" and there are several of them. I want to be able to expand the left sidebar so I can see the names of those folders and not just the first letter. I was able to do it before, but not now for some reason. Thanks!Can I remove the "your activity" files?
It seem impossible to imagine but apparently Dropbox has decided that recent activity/files in recent activity are now permanently viewable until replaced by more recent activity. Really? I hope I'm wrong. Dropbox started out as uniquely user friendly and easy to use. I've watched that disappear over the years. It's becoming every bit the arrogant, controlling, short sighted and customer unfriendly type of site that it once stood out from. Again, if anyone has different information, please share. I'm truly hoping I'm wrong.
Fix actions overlay covering up comments in RTL languages
When commenting on a shared file, the comments are being overlayed by the action buttons on hover, so when hovering to resolve a comment you cant see if its the right comment. this is only an issue on RTL languages where the text start from the right and the overlay is on the right too. The Comment: Covered by the action buttons:Please remove the scroll bar on the mobile app
Could you please remove the scroll bar? It gets in the way. When I open Dropbox to download a file I just uploaded, I have to wait a few seconds for the scroll bar to disappear. It's a mobile app for touchscreens. Why do we need a scroll bar, anyway? The entire screen is a scroll bar.
