Description
My setup:
Proxmox -> Debian VM -> Docker Dropbox
Dropbox folder located on mergerfs volume, contains 29gb in 135k files and owned by uid=1000 gid=100.
Everytime i restart container, dropbox do chown, upgade version, reindex and redownload whole folder. Why he do this everytime? This affects VM performance for hours.
docker run -d \
--restart=always \
--name=dropbox \
--net=host \
-e DBOX_UID=1000 -e DBOX_GID=100 \
-v /media/storage/dropbox:/dbox/Dropbox \
-v /docker/containers/dropbox/config:/dbox/.dropbox \

Research direction
Start with the Docker run configuration, especially the two mounted volumes and restart behavior, and reproduce the reported reindexing and redownload after a container restart. Determine why the Dropbox state is not being retained, then verify that a restart preserves the existing index and avoids downloading the full folder again.
