Dropbox keeps complaining about "Can't Sync 'System Volume Information'"
Dropbox Windows client 3.0.5, running on Windows 8.1
I have a dedicated partition / drive for Dropbox, and Windows created "System Volume Information" folder on its root directory.
Dropbox clie...
I sent a reply but it seems to have evaporated. Yes, changing permissions seems to have cracked it. I accept deleting the folder wouldn't help. And it seem to me you can't create a folder with the same name because the OS would just say that it already exists, yes?.
The takeown command was a new one to me; it may have been valuable but I can't tell. Certainly changing permissions was the important thing, and also de-selecting it once it was visible finally clinched it.
So thanks, guys, good work; I am grateful.
I see your issue now. It seems the behavior of Windows was changed with Win10 in this instance.
I may have gotten it to work on my flash drive on Win10, try this:
Show hidden and system files by going to control panel -> folder options.
Right click properties of "system volume information".
Under security - > advanced, set yourself as owner and apply.
Under security add "users" to the groups and give full control (I got an error but it still worked).
Use attrib -S -H to unhide and un-system file "system volume information".
Mine now appears to be un-hidden but I am unsure of how consistent this will be. You might have to fight with it a bit.
