Unable to start dropbox in Ubuntu 20.04
Hi, I am unable to start the dropbox in Ubuntu 20.04 with Headless Mode with the following errors. I had read through all the forums and documents to find out the solution in order to fix this error ...
I was able to use dropbox fine till yesterday, but today it complains of the following error.
Couldn't start dropbox. This is usually because of a permissions error.
I tried some steps in https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-files-folders/Why-am-I-getting-a-Couldn-t-start-Dropbox-permission-error/td-p/22462/page/4, but none of them helped.
