Bug Description

I have installed Dropbox and Dropbox integration. (sudo apt-get install pantheon-files-plugin-dropbox)

When I click the Dropbox folder (including the link listed in the left sidebar), Files crashes 90% of cases (that is, from time to time, it does not crash).

I also use Nautilus in parallel, which also has dropbox integration, and which works ok.

removing pantheon-files-plugin-dropbox (sudo apt-get remove pantheon-files-plugin-dropbox) solved this issue

I can confirm this behaviour. I installed pantheon-files-plugin-dropbox and then Files would die whenever I opened the Dropbox folder. Removing the package is my workaround for now.

Is this problem still occuring? I have tried installing lp:~elementary-apps/pantheon-files/pantheon-files-plugin-dropbox recently and it doesn't crash for me. There are other problems - like missing emblems on the dropbox folder, but the context menu entries appear.
