Dropboxd on Linux server has stopped syncing

Question

Below is the code I executed to restart dropbox because it stopped syncing: 

~/bin/dropbox.py start

Starting Dropbox...Done!

This is the output I get, though it appears to be syncing it’s not as some folders are unwatched: 

[willemmerson@web385 media]$ ~/bin/dropbox.py status

Downloading file list...

Syncing (317 files remaining)

Uploading 317 files...

[willemmerson@web385 media]$ ~/bin/dropbox.py filestatus

email:           unwatched

header_images:   unwatched

homepage_images: unwatched

paintings:       unwatched

My code runs only till 317 files and says that it’s unwatched. Can anyone tell me why this happens? 

Answer 1

The best solution would be is to upgrade to the new version of dropbox as well the Python, then restart it:
