Orgzly-android: Dropbox sync not working
I linked Ozgzly to my dropbox account (I can see in my Dropbox settings that is is linked), but when I try to sync I get the message "Sync Not linked to Dropbox".
I am using the latest version 1.4.11 from the Google Play Store on MIUI.

What about the button in Orgzly's Settings -> Respositories -> <YOUR-REPO> ?
Is the icon blue and button says "unlink from dropbox"?

No, it says 'Link to dropbox'. I follow all the steps, but it still says that:

Yeah, that doesn't look right. It's hard to test and try to reproduce though. There's been one same report some time ago. There was no conclusion.
Where are you connecting from and does accessing Dropbox fully work?

I'm using a VPN to connect to Dropbox since I'm in China and Dropbox is blocked here. The connection still isn't that good, so that could well be a part of the problem.
The Dropbox app works fine though. And I just realized I can link using the Dropbox app, after that syncing works.

So it's same problem the previous reporter had. Good to know it works with the app installed.
I'll close the issue as there's nothing much we can do. It's going to be a good reference for future though. 😄

I had the exact same issue and installing dropbox and signing in fixed the problem. So did using chrome as the default browser instead of firefox. When dropbox is installed, clicking on "link to dropbox" opens the dropbox app to ask for permission instead of the default browser and that's why it works. For some reason when it opens in firefox (at least Nightly) after clicking "Allow" and returning to orgzly, it doesn't detect that permission has been granted.
ps: thank you very much for creating Orgzly. This is awesome and I can now stop using Google notes for good.
