iPhone app shows "Shared Link" alert every time I open the app
For a few months now, every time I open the Dropbox app on my iPhone, I get an alert/popup: Shared Link <name of person> shared <folder name> with you [Dismiss] [View] If I click "Dismiss", it goes away until I open the app the next time. If I click "View", I get a loading animation, then another alert "Can't Display Link. This link does not exist.". The folder is something that was shared with me in 2014, so it's likely accurate that the link no longer exists. The question is: why am I getting this popup and how I can I disable it? Thanks for any hints.
Permissions for new files omit group write permission
Using the Dropbox Sync app on a Linux machine Newly created files lack the "Write" bit and this makes the shared folder inaccessible for other users on the network. Already checked the `umask` and it is correctly set to 0007 for the user, and also for the process when queried using `gdb` Running `strace` on the file writer thread I see the following: openat(AT_FDCWD, "/mnt/Dropbox/.dropbox.cache/new_files", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = 120 fcntl(120, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY) = 0 fstat(120, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0770, st_size=7, ...}) = 0 mkdirat(120, "18075a7c044f08a6659c56dd00da82ed", 0755) = 0 openat(120, "18075a7c044f08a6659c56dd00da82ed", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_NOFOLLOW|O_DIRECTORY) = 121 fcntl(121, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY) = 0 fstat(121, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=2, ...}) = 0 ... openat(AT_FDCWD, "/mnt/Dropbox/.dropbox.cache/new_files", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = 58 openat(58, "18075a7c044f08a6659c56dd00da82ed", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_NOFOLLOW) = 105 fcntl(105, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY) = 0 fstat(105, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=2, ...}) = 0 fstat(58, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0770, st_size=8, ...}) = 0 fstat(123, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=3, ...}) = 0 newfstatat(123, "Test2345", 0x7f8976bf6d80, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) renameat2(58, "18075a7c044f08a6659c56dd00da82ed", 123, "Test2345", RENAME_NOREPLACE) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) newfstatat(123, "Test2345", 0x7f8976bf6be0, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) renameat(58, "18075a7c044f08a6659c56dd00da82ed", 123, "Test2345") = 0 utimensat(123, "Test2345", [UTIME_OMIT, {tv_sec=1673373843, tv_nsec=0} /* 2023-01-10T19:04:03+0100 */], AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) = 0 newfstatat(123, "Test2345", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0750, st_size=2, ...}, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) = 0 close(105) = 0 So the directory is created without the group write bit Is this hard-coded? How can this behaviour be changed?
