Dropbox support file system

[portanav]

Hi, I am giving UBlue a try, but I am having a problem with app Dropbox. When installed and I login to my account it tells me the filesystem is not supported and to move files. What filesystem does Ublue support, as I was previously using Linux Mint 21.1 and had no problem with Dropbox under Mint?
The app installs and runs without any error.

Thanks,
Michael.

Fedora Silverblue & co use the Btrfs filesystem, while many other Linux distro's like Linux Mint I believe use the Ext4 filesystem.

It appears Dropbox has dropped support for anything other than Ext4, so I'm sorry if you rely on it.

With a quick duckduckgo I found a couple of kinda sketchy solutions you could try.

I feel like the best way would be to have a partition or seperate disk that is formatted as Ext4 and used to store only Dropbox.

OK, thanks. I think your last suggestion is the best. Regards.

This is still coming up today, but Dropbox's current documentation says btrfs is supported, and I was using it on the standard, non-uBlue Fedora Kinoite with btrfs without a problem.
