Linux Dropbox Certificate error
After installing dropbox proprietary (using dropbox_2020.03.04_amd64.deb) and python3-gpg on on Linux Mint the app fails with the following message. This means Dropbox doesn't work at all on Linux wh...
- Actually it was some issue with validating the Dropbox certificate (wget didn't work either). Re-installing ca-certificates and then reinstalling dropbox did the trick. If anyone else run in to the same problem here is what solved it for me:

Hi GNiX,
All posted by you are warnings/deprecation messages. Unfortunately, since Linux is NOT first class citizen on Dropbox 'opinion', very often upcoming changes lag in time (sometimes actual actions start after really application stops working completely). Since by now posted by you are only warnings, they can't be a reason for "Dropbox doesn't work" (not yet, at least). If you can't still run Dropbox, download the daemon by hands (the only thing ssl-certificates are needed for). Clear the daemon's dirs (if any) using following command:
rm -rf ~/.dropbox*
... and install it anew with:
cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
Now you should be able run Dropbox either from your GUI menu or command:
dropbox start
Current status (including is application working) can be check with:
dropbox status
Good luck.

Hi can someone talk me through steps to resolve this? We have already reinstalled Dropbox but this hasn't worked.
