Nautilus (the file manager) shows Home > Dropbox but Dropbox shows Home > User > Dropbox

What is going one? Is it a display issue or has the file tree been altered?

I haven't used Terminal commands in so long I have forgotten how to figure it out at that level - but after upgrading to 13.04 yesterday Dropbox stopped updating, almost certainly because Dropbox thinks these files are at Home > User > Dropbox but the system seems to have eliminated the User level. Show hidden files doesn't help.

I can't use Ubuntu without Dropbox, and it has worked for 5 years, now I am flummoxed.

  • Nautilus just calls /home/[user] as Home. Note the capitalization. Dropbox folder should be in /home/[user]/Dropbox.

There are a couple of reasons its not working:

  1. http_proxy is set
  2. https_proxy is set
  3. dropboxd is not being called correctly

In the command line do the following:

unset http_proxy https_proxy
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

Does the dropbox icon show up in the toolbar? If so is the menu blank? If YES/NO then you should be fine.

I don't know what the webproxy is all about...
