Need to "download proprietary daemon" every time Ubuntu restart.
I have installed Dropbox successfully on Ubuntu 14.04 using the 64-bit .deb installer from from https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux
Everything goes well and dropbox has synced all my files proper...

Sorry to hear about this Vicon!
First off, are you meeting all of our minimum requirements as per this page?
More specifically, Dropbox needs the following software to work on desktop environments:
- Glibc 2.19 or higher
- GTK 2.24 or higher
- Glib 2.40 or higher
- Libappindicator 12.10 or higher
- Nautilus 3.10.1 or higher
Having said that and as I'd really like to help with this, would you mind trying an advanced reinstall using this installer to see if this will fix your problem? In the meantime, you may also want to review this Help Center article too.
Keep me posted on your findings!

My system: Mx Linux 19.1, Xfce4.
Every time the computer starts, Dropbox says "... gpg is not installed!" How to fix the message: I unistalled the "dropbox" with the "purge" command from the terminal, downloaded and installed (deb) from the Dropbox website and restarted the computer. Then I installed "python3-gpg" from Synaptic. OK. Note: The default installation was "nautilus-dropbox". Now only "dropbox" has been installed.
