- As I guessed, you have some network issues. Can you download the link above - https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 in some way and unpack it in your home folder? After that you should be able run the application, but without network connection it wouldn't work properly, most probably.
Good luck.
This is the output I get when I run the command you gave above.

Its working now after unpacking the downloaded file into the home directory.
I have the same problem on Linux Mint, it is persistent. The Daemon installer does not start the download. Using the command line, the wget command also hangs. Only a manual download works. I doubt this is a network problem of mine, because it persists across dofferent networks and Linux Mint installations. Could someone contact Dropbox for this?
