Dropbox frequent connection drops
Okay, I'm back with the same problem. I had learned to just ignore the Xml error dialogs that were being thrown in front of me on a more or less constant basis (sometimes go days without seeing them, sometimes they'd happen 10-20 times in a day).
However, 6.5 has a different behavior, and it's much more concerning. Now, rather than an Xml error dialog, I'm being asked for a password, per the attached screenshot. You'll note that the "All Sessions" area is empty.... if I just select "Opened Sessions" and then re-select "All Sessions" my tree returns (without REQUIRING that I provide this "Master" password).
Here's the 6.5 cycle:
1. Dialog shows up indicating I need to enter the "Data source master key"
2. Rather than entering the key, I click "Cancel". Note the empty "All Sessions" tree.
3. Click "Opened Sessions"
4. Click "All Sessions" and the tree is full.

Hi,
I think that when Dropbox fail, RDM think that the data is encrypted. Could you send me your email and I will send you a special build

So, the fix seems to have resolved the frequent drop problem - however, I do still see the issue infrequently. And when I do, I am unable to access my saved connections, even though the xml file is located locally! I choose DropBox so that I can access my connections.xml file even when not able to connect to DropBox, so this is a problem.

Hi,
The file is not saved locally, we fetch each at each refresh. If you press F5, does it finally reconnect correctly? I currently thinking to implement a sync function for Dropbox.
