Need to "download proprietary daemon" every time Xubuntu restart.

Ooh, Yes. That's known bug in the control script. I have signaled long time ago, but no fix yet. Dropbox development don't care about. Easiest way is ignore such messages and always reject new install (it's already installed in fact). Another way is introducing delay in launching after restart. In fact due to heavy initial load, the script can't detect the working daemon and decides that it's not installed (incorrect).
PS: For more details related to the issue, take a look on a thread where that's widely discussed (almost monolog in fact). One possible solution (for the current trouble and for FS restrictions, together) could be used a proposed script which take care for everything. Take care for some variable names, erroneously renamed from "dropboxforum" platform (one more bug, also known). Just set the correct name (as noted below the script)!

Hey peeps, thanks for mentioning me here Здравко!
I'd be more than happy to look further into this with you both, we'd need to have a look into this with some additional details so that we can troubleshoot with our specialists.
So that we can gather some device specific info, would you mind if I reached out to both of you, eurico and Здравко, via the email associated with your Community profiles?
If you've already submitted a ticket with the team, just let me know the ticket number (eg. #1234567).
Let me know and I hope you have a great weekend ahead - thanks!
