Re: Linux Dropbox registration still does not work

URL to link account in Linux does not work

I'm trying to install in Linux. I have the app installed but when it brings up the URL to link your account to the computer the URL is not valid. It does not work.  I can relaunch dropbox and it brings up another invalid URL.

 

There is also no options I can find other than this invalid URL to link the account and get dropbox working.

 

Where can I get a valid URL to link my computer?  How can I make this work?  Or do I need to find another service?

FINALLY SOLVED! Problem started after new Kubuntu 23.04 installation, removed all the .dropbox folders and installed the app from Flatpak, this solved my problem.

Yes, I just started up my laptop a new one that I reported the issue with today, and it now works.

If you are using headless mode:

 

1 - Stop all Dropbox processes

 

2 - Remove .dropbox and .dropbox-dist

 

3 - Reinstall using headless mode https://www.dropbox.com/pt_BR/install-linux

 

4 - Download dropbox.py again (version was updated)

----

Dropbox daemon version: 181.3.5515 <<< new version
Dropbox command-line interface version: 2022.12.05

Hi all,

 

Thanks everyone who submitted tickets (and also the ones that helped here with info). 

 

We've implemented a fix (as you some of you already reported) however, if you're still seeing that problem, you may be running into a separate issue.

 

We can definitely look into it that for you if that's the case. 

 

Thanks again!

Sam
