Issue

The command I am trying to run (sync a Dropbox folder)

   rclone -vv --fast-list    --bwlimit 30M --tpslimit 10.0  --config /code/rclone.config sync  dropbox:/ /backups/dropbox/

I see the following Log output:

  2017/07/26 07:46:50 ERROR : Some Example/03_for_example/zip-files/20170725.zip: Entry doesn't belong in directory "Some Example/03_For_Example/zip-files" (too short) - ignoring

It looks like Dropbox is having issues with capitalization.

Best, Martin

Hmm, this is a problem with the new dropbox v2 API. I will look into it!

I might need to get you to test things as I think only old files have those funny lower case paths.

It will be in 1.38 Which is scheduled for the end of the month.

Confirmed! It’s working again!! Thank you @ncw , you are amazing!!

Isn’t https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip supposed to be a link to the most recent beta?

That is the most recent release, for the most recent beta you want https://beta.rclone.org/rclone-beta-latest-osx-amd64.zip

Interesting. The link to the latest doesn’t appear to be the latest. I just downloaded the latest beta explicitly from https://beta.rclone.org/v1.37-103-g672c4102/rclone-v1.37-103-g672c4102β-osx-amd64.zip and that works fine. Isn’t https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-osx-amd64.zip supposed to be a link to the most recent beta?

I’ve fixed this here - I managed to make it go wrong with my dropbox account which was a bonus - let me know how you get on!
