I also gave it a try on a Btrfs filesystem and folder syncing ran without any issues. A Dropbox client update brings back support for ZFS and XFS on 64-bit Linux systems, and eCryptFS and Btrfs on all Linux systems. are exclusively available on hardware supporting btrfs filesystem (which. This isn't directly mentioned on the Dropbox website, but after a fresh Dropbox installation that I performed on Ubuntu, the reported version is 77.4.131, which is a higher version number than the Dropbox beta version for which it was reported that it now supports ZFS and XFS on 64-bit Linux systems, and eCryptFS and Btrfs on all Linux systems. Without warning, my account was blocked, synchronization stopped and I do not. Since then, it appears that this change has made it into the stable Dropbox client for Linux. last week, the Dropbox 77.3.127 beta changelog says that Dropbox has added back support for ZFS (on 64-bit systems only), XFS (on 64bit systems only), Btrfs and eCryptFS. The reason cited for this was that " a supported file system is required as Dropbox relies on extended attributes (X-attrs) to identify files in the Dropbox folder and keep them in sync", which doesn't really make sense since there are many filesystems that support X-attrs on Linux.
That way, if human error results in a lost or corrupt database, you can quickly restore the data back to the previous time at which the snapshot was captured. Dropbox stopped supporting folder syncing to drives with filesystems it deemed uncommon, which on Linux meant anything but Ext4, upsetting quite a few users. The Btrfs file system introduces a powerful snapshot feature allowing you to create a point-in-time copy of an entire shared folder.
