I know that this is a third-party plugin. I've already notified the third party (via Google Play).
I'm just checking is it just me or other people experience the same problem.
Starting with the latest Dropbox update, I can no longer see my Dropbox folders via Totalbox. It goes no further than "Online folders."

Dropbox has introduced a new interface more than a year ago, and warned all authors that the old interface would be turned off soon. Apparently this has happened now. I have e-mailed the plugin author multiple times about this, but he never replied. You may try to contact the plugin author yourself.

I did. As, I think, should all of us, who are using this plugin.

Same problem for me on both devices. What a nuisance. It worked for me on Sep 30 but not on Oct 1
Author is apparently Slovakian. Looks like a pretty smart guy. Would not be surprised if he just does not have time.

Well, according to my analysis, the plugin seems to use the official Dropbox SDK. It should be very simple to just replace the old by the new SDK and recompile...

At least I know this is not my phone who has a problem. Let's hope he will be able to fix it because it is very convenient for my usage.

I have tired to un-install and re-install the plug-in several times. Oh, now I know it is not my problem.
I hope this plug will work again. I really need it for my smartphone. (With this plug-in, I don't need to install dropbox app)

I detected the same problem, when I was on a trip in Namibia - unable to use dropbox with TC. What a pity!! Thanks to this forum I learned what the problem is caused by.
I wrote also a mail to OnkoKubo in order to please him for an update. No answer so far.
I would appreciate if Mr.Ghishler would be able to encourage this 3rd party developer??

I have already mailed him a few times, no reaction so far. Currently I'm busy with the beta test of the Windows version, which will be released next week. If there is no reaction by then, I will write my own Dropbox plugin - it shouldn't be too difficult when using the official Dropbox functions.

That sounds very promising! Don't hurry - as far as I know the function will come back I'm satisifed

Das sind gute Nachrichten

Ich habe sicherlich 6 Stunden verbracht das Problem bei mir zu suchen bis ich im Forum darauf aufmerksam wurde, dass es offenbar bei Totalbox liegt.
Ich verwende den TotalCommander auf allen Ressourcen, der Mensch ist ein Gewohnheitstier - mein Daten-Leben hat sich seit Anfang Oktober massiv erschwert.
Gibt es schon einen ungefähren Zeitrahmen für das neue Plug/in und herzlichen Dank an Christian Ghisler für den seit Jahren hervorragenden Support rund um den Total Commander!

Ja, ich habe es gestern Sonntag entwickelt! Es läuft schon ganz gut, benötigt aber noch ein paar Tests. Ich werde es hier ankündigen.
