Dropbox redownload full content every container restart
My setup: Proxmox -> Debian VM -> Docker Dropbox
Dropbox folder located on mergerfs volume, contains 29gb in 135k files and owned by uid=1000 gid=100. Everytime i restart container, dropbox do chown, upgade version, reindex and redownload whole folder. Why he do this everytime? This affects VM performance for hours.
docker run -d
--restart=always
--name=dropbox
--net=host
-e DBOX_UID=1000 -e DBOX_GID=100
-v /media/storage/dropbox:/dbox/Dropbox
-v /docker/containers/dropbox/config:/dbox/.dropbox

After #13 and --volume 'dropbox-updates:/opt/dropbox' I'm seeing much faster restarts.
I imagine you're on your own if you choose to persist that folder, though, since future updates to the image might change how Dropbox updates are managed.
