    Thanks again for your reply! I now ended up calling `dropboxd` directly, via this desktop file:

     

    ❯ cat .config/autostart/dropboxd.desktop  
    [Desktop Entry]
    Exec=/home/jonas/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
    Icon=
    Name=dropboxd
    Path=
    Terminal=False
    Type=Application

    That seems to work! I hope nothing bad can happen when I call dropboxd direclty, and not via /usr/bin/dropbox!
