Theres a new problem with nautilus-dropbox and is the worst for a service like Dropbox: stopped syncing and their tech support don't believe their users.

The problem is:

  1. start dropbox
  2. it downloads index
  3. creates folders
  4. start to download files
  5. stop downloading files or the speed is like 0.3k/seg

even deleting everything doesn't work, even syncing a single folder with a few files, not even configuring a different limit speed or let all your bandwith, nothing works for me and i have found many users with the same problem.

it's strange, i have two computers with ubuntu 14.04 and one with windows 7, and in one of the linux machines it works fine, but not in the other one. Both of them are x64.

The answers from the tech support starts with "delete everything and reinstall" to "you may be blocking port 443", yeah, sure (and if i do that half of internet dissapears, idiot), but nothing works.

Someone has some idea? i cant find any log file (at least a text log file like in /var/log) to understand what is dropbox doing and what is not working.

PS: sorry for my "english", is not my language

Examples:

dropbox slow on ubuntu 14.04 Dropbox does not sync on ubuntu 14.04

Dropbox Status (in spanish but is the same thing)

fabio@canopus:~$ dropbox status Sincronizando (Quedan 330 archivos., Faltan 9 días.) Descargando 330 archivos... (0,3 KB/s, Faltan 9 días.)

9 days for 330 files / 100Mb
