I can't configure dropbox on Ubuntu 24.04
Hi, I am required to use Dropbox for work on an Ubuntu 24.04 system, which is apparently supported as "Ubuntu 22.10 or higher"
I followed the instructions at https://www.dropbox.com/install-lin...
Hi, I had a similar issue on ubuntu 24.04. Coming from a slackware background, I went straight to the command line. Identify your dropbox process with ps -ef and kill it.
Then go to your home directory and start dropbox via
.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
If there is a problem, it will notify you on the terminal. In my case, I had too many files so I run the command below (I added a couple of zeros to what suggested in the error message just to be safe):
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=10000000 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p
Then restarted dropbox with
.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
It is synchronising now. I hope it will restart automatically without any such mess when I reboot next.
