In synaptic it shows that Python 3 version is available: The difference between the two options is simply that with Selective, files/folders are not shown in the local synced Dropbox folder but with Smart Sync, a (best described as) token is placed in the local folder from which the file in the cloud can be opened making the whole process seamless.

The current version of Dropbox from the Ubuntu Software Center installed is:Ĭonfirmed by Synaptic (although the app itself suggests v102.4.431 on 18.04 LTS) but this version does not provide the option to make use of Smart Sync, only Selective Sync. I have upgraded Dropbox (Personal) to Dropbox (Personal Plus) which provides 2TB of (paid) cloud storage.Ĭlearly, with that amount of potential storage, syncing to the local drive will be an issue but Dropbox provides a solution with Smart Sync.
