    Hi all,

     

    Thanks everyone who submitted tickets (and also the ones that helped here with info). 

     

    We've implemented a fix (as you some of you already reported) however, if you're still seeing that problem, you may be running into a separate issue.

     

    We can definitely look into it that for you if that's the case. 

     

    Thanks again!

    Sam

I am unable to link my new laptop running Ubuntu to my Dropbox account. The issue is not the number of devices - I am on a paid plan.

 

The error message is the following:

 

ErrorInvalid URL. Please check your client for a new one.

      same problem here. Since 2 days now. You should fix that asap. We are paying quite a lot for this service.
