        That's interesting because I have got the "Smart Sync" / "Selective sync" / "Dropbox folder location" like Typpi, except that I don't have the "Save hard drive space" subsection in Smart Sync. But I do have a checkbox for "Let my admin manage this setting".

        Assume DB are testing some different options with different users?

    Same issue here. All files started on blue circle/syncing, with slow progress. I shut down and rebooted, and now nothing is syncing, the dropbox icon in the menu bar is stuck in "started..." with no progress whatever.

    Can someone please tell me if ANY of the latest builds fixes the zero-day vulnerability reported to Dropbox September 2019 for a local Windows 10 privilege escalation flaw??

    I can't believe Dropbox is not dealing with it for so long regardless of how "low risk" the attack surface is. It is reported by every media outlet such as Forbes.  I need to have faith Dropbox is actually taking this seriously. I have yet to see 1 single reference to a potential fix on Dropbox's site.

     

    Thank you

      I would LOVE to know this as well. Been trying to check articles for any updates. This seems to be the only place to find changelog notes from the Dropbox team.

    This not at all a stable version. As has happened to many others, I am stuck in a permanent Sync. Why no update from Dropbox given all of the comments in this thread?

      Beta version 89.3.272 did not solve the problem. The solution is migrate to another cloud provider.

    Thanks for using Dropbox! Here are the user-visible changes in v88:
    • Linux-only: Included "libatomic" library with Dropbox so it works out of the box on Ubuntu Server and Fedora.
    • Resolved an issue where if you started typing into the folder overview your insertion point would sometimes move while typing. 
    • Improved experience when two or more people are editing the same folder overview at the same time.
    • Fixed a rare issue that caused Microsoft Excel instability when Dropbox Application was running

      Mine updated and is stuck "Syncing" on PC. All the files show up with the blue sync Icon, been hours and nothing has changed to a green check mark. Dropbox works fine still on my second computer a macbookpro. Anyone else having this issue? Attempted to uninstall and reinstall, unlink/link, no avail. First time this has happened.

        I am stuck in sync for hours. Support is a joke.
