How can I avoid any syncing issues upon reconnecting my Linux desktop app to my web account?
I'm an Ubuntu Linux user who had been using Dropbox's desktop app for years until your support ended for my OS's version.

It'll be a couple of days before I can upgrade the OS, so when I do and re-install the app I'll follow your suggestion.
Thanks again!
