Audio files not showing on Linux (Fedora) mounted directory.
I used headless install to install 178.4.4811 and executed .dropbox-dist/dropboxd. The folder shows the directory structure that I see when I use the browser. However some directories on the browser ...
Ahahh...😯 fredleason, you're falling in trap of one old Dropbox application bug. It's signaled multiple times for (I personally too), but nobody take care about yet. 🤷 Linux is not so important for Dropbox; this is confirmation once again.
The issue is that Dropbox rely on opening browser with script written in temporary file in temporary folder. All good, but in latest browser releases, working on Linux, this practice is considered insecure and is forbidden already. That's it; better don't rely this bug to be fixed soon.
Fortunately there is a workaround. Run in your terminal something like:
export DISPLAY= ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
Next the initialization, you will be invited to open printed link. Using this link you can link your new install to your account. 😉
Hope this helps.
Add: There is chance the link not to work immediately; refresh your browser frame next couple of seconds.

Yes, of course. You assigned invalid value to DISPLAY! After try to connect to a fake display, crash is something possible. Execute the lines exactly as they are (there are 2 lines), don't change anything! The first line clears the display (empty after equal sign), doesn't assign something. As alternative you can unset/wipe out the DISPLAY variable (the same effect).
