SUMo still reporting Dropbox beta update when no betas allowed
Now it's with version 159.3.5805
https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/vi ... -id/308787
As before...
Dropbox makes it clear on its site which release is a beta, and which is stable.
The "Allow Beta versions" box is unchecked in SUMo.
Not sure why this keeps occurring.

Only when a new beta is out until it gets reported and I manually flag it.

That doesn't sound too good...
So are you saying there is no way on your end to tell that the Dropbox release is a beta?
It's pretty clear on the Dropbox site...

Yes but it's manual tagging on my server which sometimes may time some time... and goes super fast after user reports here

Re: SUMo still reporting Dropbox beta update when no betas allowed
That wastes a users time by -
1. Finally discovering that the update is in fact a beta (when the software has the option to not include betas).
2. Reporting it.
Seems like there needs to be a change in your process.
Users should not do the job the software is supposed to do.

Re: SUMo still reporting Dropbox beta update when no betas allowed
It's not based on user reports, but classification is accelerated if user reports. SUMo globally has a low false positive rate
