Unfortunately Dropbox recently dropped support for certain Linux file systems like XFS, BTRFS, etc. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17732912 https://news.

  And lost me as a customer for it. Effectively Dropbox is no longer the universal solution guaranteed to work everywhere, which was the reason I chose them before. They deliberately killed off their unique selling point. These days I run Nextcloud on iOS, Windows and Linux and it doesn't complain about ZFS.

    For what it's worth, Dropbox recently added support for those file systems: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-77-3-127/m-p/354660 https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Beta-B...

      Make that re-added after pointlessly, explicitly and intentionally breaking setups which people/customers relied on and which had been working flawlessly for years. That lost them a shit-ton of goodwill. Too little, too late.
