Thanks for your response.
I have quit and restarted Dropbox multiple times on both machines. I also restarted the first broken machine, then updated linux and restarted it again. The problem started on the second machine when I rebooted it (which I did to test whether this would happen).
I meet all of the requirements, but as my report states I was _not_ able to install the app (on either machine). I am instead using the nautilus-dropbox package (and have been for many years).
I don't have any firewalls or vpns running.
Both machines have been running Dropbox for months without changes before they stopped working in the last few days.

Same problem here, dropbox stopped working on 3 different linux machines (3 different accounts) after working seamlessly for several years.

Wish you better luck than me. I'm sure there's a simple solution that's something about my files, but all I got was a runaround from three different people (one almost certainly a bot) repeating the same tired advice to try things that I had mostly tried before posting. My solution is to try to wean myself away from Dropbox, which also hasn't been easy.
