.mignore file causes sync error due to new Dropbox business folder structure

Open DaGaMs opened this issue 7 months ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug

Dropbox recently changed how folders are organised for business accounts. The top-level directory in the dropbox root directory is not writeable to the user any more, but instead contains sub-folders for the various groups you're a member of, and a folder with your full name as a "private" space.

Now, when I put the .mignore file in the top-level directory, I always get this error message in the maestral log:

2023-11-10 20:53:04 sync INFO: Could not sync .mignore

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
