Hi Jay,
Perhaps I should have mentioned that I am on the Basic Plan (connecting to max 3 devices), and I simply used the "dropbox_2024.04.17_amd64.deb" file linked on the Dropbox website. I hope this situation doesn't end Dropbox support for me.

Seeing the date of the install file as well as those of the CLI versions I do get the nagging feeling that Linux OS development isn't too high on the Dropbox Team to-do list.
So, as a Basic Dropbox user on Ubuntu Linux 24.04.1, what are my options?
