Hi

I am having problems with DropBox under Ubuntu.

I sync 3000 pics across an XP machine, an old Mac laptop running OSX and I used to do it on my ThinkPad running Ubuntu. I am now trying to set up the same sync on my EeePC.

Ive not had a problem before and I have in the past used a custom location for my folder. In fact my ThinkPad had a shared partition for XP and Ubuntu and my DropBox folder sat in there where both OSes could access it and sync.

It seems an issue with using an SD card as the source and I dont think - from I can find out - it is directly Ubuntu related. It also seems this worked until recently although people cannot determine whether it was a DropBox update or Ubuntu update.

It just continually says 'Downloading ??? files', yet it isnt. If I pop the DropBox folder on the internal SSD then it works fine.

Can anyone shed any light. I found some info about mounting fat formatted drives in a certain way using fstab, but that made no difference.

If it a particular problem with FAT32 then I could change it to NTFS or EXT4.

Any help would great, I need my DropBox working.

Oh and one more thing. Uploading works fine. If I drop a file in my DropBox on my EeePC then it will upload no problem and the rest of the machines sync it. Obviously not the other way. If I drop a file in my DropBox on my Mac then it syncs all the other machines but not the EeePC.
