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.

      Same problem.
      In windows 10 v1909, dropbox client v88.4.172 constantly sync forever...(about 2 days).
      MacOS client still working fine.

        I'm also stuck in constant sync. Whole day at work and there nothing advanced. Now at home it's stuck on "performing one time update" thingy. All folders and files have the blue sync icon and nothing seems to advance anywhere. So DB is bonked on two separate computers.

        "Stable" is not what I'd describe this update...

      Same issue here; 

      I'd be happy to leave it to sync "only" all 140 GB, but 

      1) What casue it to resync (and will it happen again.. and again ...)

      2) the rest of the myu users (the gamers and netflix watchers) are getting very annoyed at the network hog (yes, I've restrcited the bandwidth, but I currently don'yt have muuch faith ...)

      hth
