Cloud Drives
GrantSP:
Which file?
The hosts.db is fine since it points to the correct place.
Where is it read in MC?
As with the other cloud drives, if there is no fix it really isn't a big deal for me.
Mathias (Author):
The hostd.db did not point to the correct place..
"C:\Users\Grant\Dropbox"
is not the same path as
"C:\Users\Grant\Dropbox"
Question is why that is some extra bytes at the ends. That is why MC can not find the path.
GrantSP:
Hmm, this forum doesn't display the extra characters properly.
Looking at you last post shows those two lines as being the same. I was able to look more closely in my editor and the first line is the one with the extra character.
The second line without the extra character is the decoded Base64 line from the hosts.db and points to the correct place.
So how do I get MC to remove that from its settings and look for a new location?
If I manually go to the Dropbox in MC and copy to the clipboard the path it is the same as the hosts.db.
Where is the setting stored inside MC?

Ok. But on the file path on disk do not have that extra character at the end ? I guess not.
So the path it gets from host.db with extra character at the end do not match the path on the disk.
So MC do not find the path.

MC read the path from host.db, the path in host.db should not have extra characters in it

Do not edit host.db manually. Maybe reinstall dropbox fixes the host.db
(What is the content of the host.db ? )

MC read the path from host.db it is not stored inside MC.

Ahh, I see what is going on here.
The decoded hosts.db gives me the same result for both the correct and incorrect data.
QzpcVXNlcnNcR3JhbnRcRHJvcGJveA== (incorrect)
QzpcVXNlcnNcR3JhbnRcRHJvcGJveA (correct)
Both these lines when pasted into Base64 Decode give me
C:\Users\Grant\Dropbox
So, yes, you are correct. The fault is with DropBox and not MC.
I should have realized this all along. Thank you.
I have submitted a bug report to DropBox.
