Re: Dropbox not able to sync
I had the same problem, same flavor, after a recent update. I reinstalled via these instructions from dropbox.com tech support:
Run the following commands in your terminal:
dropbox stop
dropbox status # Should report "not running"
rm -rf ~/.dropbox-dist
rm -rf /var/lib/dropbox
rm -rf ~/.dropbox*
sudo apt-get remove nautilus-dropbox
sudo apt-get remove dropbox
rm /etc/apt/source.d/dropbox
After this, you can download version 3.4.6 of Dropbox at your command prompt. Depending on your system, you'll need either the 32-bit or 64-bit installer files.
32-bit installer:
cd ~ && wget -O - "https://d1ilhw0800yew8." | tar xzf -
64-bit installer:
cd ~ && wget -O - "https://d1ilhw0800yew8." | tar xzf -
Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder to install the application:
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
When you use this method you do NOT install nautilus-dropbox via Synaptic: it remains unchecked.
And you start Dropbox from terminal using above command. Just minimize the terminal.
Aller Anfang ist schwer.
