Hi all
I am running Ubuntu 24.04 and 4:14.1.3
I have been warned in the last weeks the support for the system tray might be dropped and as of today it did. While in Ubuntu with the native Gnome desktop the tray is still visible, in trininty it is not.
Is there anybody using Dropbox and the file synchronization?
Did anybody find a workaround. For me this is a real loss because I relied quite a bit on it.
Dropbox still works but I have no direct way of knowing whether a syncrhonization worked, how much space I am using, other than running the command line which is annoying

I left Dropbox a few years ago when they announced they would only support ext4 filesystem for Linux. Since there's no technical reason for that requirement, it seemed to me that they don't want to support Linux. I don't use ext4 because it has a slightly higher chance of data loss than ext3. My workaround was to move to Yandex Disk. There's another one I came across recently that looks like it does everything I need, KDrive from Infomaniak, but I need to take a more thorough look at it.

Hmmmm.... I don't remember the "only support ext4" announcement. But I did get and email saying they would drop linux. I had a lot of use for it in years past -- none at all in the last 6-7 months or so. So, when I upgrade from Ub 16.04 (Yes. 16!) to UB 24.04 last August, I just abandoned it.

Yeah, I guess if the need ever arises again, either Google search or some chatbot could locate a look-a-like/substitute.

Dropbox worked in UB 24.04 just fine. Much more reliable than say Gdrive.
You have this in your signature:
I strongly condemn Hamas heinous despicable pogroms/atrocities on Israel I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the EU and NATO membership of Ukraine. ------------ SHAME ON YOU !! For being so misinformed! All you said proves you are fully submitted slave citizen. All wrong !!
DISGUSTING !!

Just to be clear: are you endorsing and supporting the massacres that took place the 7th of October? Did you even enjoy watching a few videos?
And are you truly in favour of the notion that one country can simply invade its neighbour? I don’t know which country you live in, but I would be curious to see whether you would still hold that view if your own nation were attacked—especially if the aggressor claimed it had, regrettably, been left with no other choice.

You seem to live still in the 80ies. There is no RU aggression in UA. There is operation against NAZI formations. If you do not see this, you are either NAZI or brain washed and in any case uneducated. Sorry!
If you support the EU and NATO membership of Ukraine, you suppot war criminals and you wish that UA disappears. And it will. I write this here only to put an opposite opinion, because it is not fair to have the MSM view everywhere.
Oh, and BTW I also grew up in communist country and looking back now I would prefer it never changed. But I do not want to get deeper into detail. Let leave it outside this user list. It is so sad. It makes no sense. Different opinions. The issue will be solved on the battle field as it was before.

TY, all correct. Uwe should stop that signature. And inform himself better. All i did was react on it.

Enough of this Frans! TDE mailing lists are for discussing TDE related stuff, not for starting political flares. Even though several users have warned you to stop with political emails, you have kept ignoring them and kept firing back.
We have now moderated your account on this ML and your posts will need approval. Any post which is NOT TDE related will be discarded.
Regards TDE Team
"both of you"
YOU joined Danko. Dont act like a crybaby now.
And we only have THIS, ONE world !!

Frankly the last thing I want is trust my data a Russian service.
I also used years ago some alternative to Dropbox whose name I forgot. The problem was and is:
1. possible data loss
2. speed
3. Longevity,
4. and of course data security.
There's another one I came across recently that looks like it does everything I need, KDrive from Infomaniak, but I need to take a more thorough look at it.

No doubt that's a valid concern for some, or some parts of the world. But there's nothing Russia could do to hurt me even if they knew I existed and wanted to. So, while I wish no one but me had any of my data, I don't worry much about Russia maybe having it.
Yandex has always worked as well as Dropbox to transfer files and photos between my computers and phone. The only thing I don't like about it is, it doesn't preserve the timestamp, at least not on Linux.
I trust any service outside of USA or EU much more. Ty. Much less corrupt.

Hi Frans,
end immediately with your political comments. You get on a very thin ice. The fact that you can express your opinions, however nonsense, and you are not punished by anyone, is an obvious difference at first glance. I live in a country where we have experienced ourselves as "liberation" coming from Russia, we have experienced for many years how "progress" is going according to Russia's ideas, and where "freedom of speech" is according to Russia's rules. If you admire Russia, move there - not as a tourist for a while, but as a permanent stay, let you experience it yourself.
Cheers Slávek
That was SovietUnion, not russia. And UweBauer's signature is NOT political? What a joke..

Hi Frans,
it is great that you distinguish SovietUnion and Russia. Putin and his people were obviously not enough to notice the difference. Their thinking still did not leave the era of the SovietUnion. They make it clear by their calls to restore influence, as in the time of SovietUnion, not to respect their own state borders, not to respect of the sovereignty of neighboring countries, and adoreing their own mass murderers from the SovietUnion era. Strangely, you didn't notice it when you're so widely informed.
Uwe Brauer does not do that he attacked others to defame them, call them misinformed, slave citizens, and so on. This is an obvious difference from what you do.
If you want to make sure you support the murder of people just because they are in Israel, that you support Putin to wage aggressive wars against its neighbors and murdering their inhabitants, and you are against the victims of aggression can defend themselves and obtain guarantees to prevent future aggressions, you can report it in your email signature. But I am afraid that by expressing your attitude it can contradict applicable laws in many countries.
Cheers Slávek
To Uwe, Frans, Slávek and whoever else wants to discuss politics,
*Please* let's just end it here, this is NOT the place to discuss politics and geopolitical tensions. We all naturally have differing opinions on these matters but this list is about TDE. Let's keep it as something that unites us in our common interests.
If you want to continue the political discussion please do so outside the TDE mailing lists.
To Uwe: please abstain from using politically provocative signatures on mailing lists. Your signature is the primary cause for this heated, totally off-topic and totally useless discussion.
-- Respectfully, Philippe Mavridis
Not respecting souvereignty..
You must really hate USA, Japan, Europe (ex RU/SU), Israel then. Says logic.
Life is better in RU than EU. But its hard to emigrate.
And i would change my nane if it was "Slavek", it means "little slave".
But lets ignore that. And enjoy Israel murdering Palestinians, who DO belong there, according to all law.
Frans, not wasting time on MSM.

Frans,
I agree with you, and I'm an American. One ashamed of my government at this point. However, we probably want to keep the TDE list non-political. Keeps the focus on development and not distractions.
Here's to making the world a better place - with a slow and steady hand. The Cheeto will be gone soon enough.
