After Dropbox is installed, it creates folder "{homedir}/Dropbox," and all files are synchronized from your dropbox account. So before it, there is no Dropbox folder in your home dir. I did not test it before Dropbox was installed, but I guess there will be no problem to star this file.
Now I checked my dropbox account; there is also feature to star files. Maybe there is a conflict between dropbox and nautilus star functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879385 Title: Unable to star files and folders in Dropbox folder in Ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1879385/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
