Unable to use NTFS partition for Dropbox in Linux
- by Cristian
Dropbox won't let me choose the sync folder inside a NTFS partition. First thought I had was mounting and its permissions (the Dropbox installer does let me choose my linux home as the Dropbox home).
After searching and trying several other lines, the partition is mounted via fstab with these settings:
/dev/sda5 /mnt/documents ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=027,fmask=137 0 0
I can read and write in the partition, here is a ls output:
24 drwxr-x--- 1 tuxcayc users 24576 Sep 2 06:42 documents
I'm using an Arch-based distro (Manjaro) and Dropbox installed via yaourt.
I guess it's still some issue with mounting permissions.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks.
