(and stays at that status)
Files do sync, however! Creating a folder on the browser and it shows in the directory. Deleting the folder in the directory, and is deleted from the browser.
Fedora Linux 38 (Workstation Edition)
Gnome 44.7
Linux 6.6.8-100.fc38.x86_64
"chattr -R -i ~/Dropbox" shows nothing.
Uninstall and reinstall fixes it.
No differences between newly synced files and saved copy of old files. So is good.
