9 months ago The important information here seems to have been the piece `insufficient_space´. I could reproduce that error by filling up my Dropbox to the brim.
I tried to improve the output of error messages from Dropbox. (See the commit link above for some crazy code I had to write to achieve this.)
I am not (and nobody else is), and never will be able to produce human-friendly error messages for all circumstances. There's tons of layers of code and systems that can produce all sorts of different errors in all sorts of crazy data structures.
The only thing we could do generally is to say "There was some error." That is human-readable, but it also contains zero information to what actually went wrong.
However, for many people, even a really ugly error message can help them fix their problem. Like in this case, those who bothered to try to spot some interesting information in there could come to the conclusion, that they maybe would need to clean up their Dropbox to continue working with it.
But I am happy to dissect any wild error you stumble across and make that nicer, as long as I am able to reproduce it.
Like in this case.
I think we discussed this already somewhere, but I can't find that issue now. Anyhow.
The fix will be contained in build 109.
