Need to "download proprietary daemon" every time Xubuntu restart.
I have installed Dropbox successfully on Xubuntu 19.10 using the 64-bit .deb installer from from https://www.dropbox.com.
But there is a problem, because every time Xubuntu restarts appears a pop-u...

Ooh, Yes. That's known bug in the control script. I have signaled long time ago, but no fix yet. Dropbox development don't care about. Easiest way is ignore such messages and always reject new install (it's already installed in fact). Another way is introducing delay in launching after restart. In fact due to heavy initial load, the script can't detect the working daemon and decides that it's not installed (incorrect).
PS: For more details related to the issue, take a look on a thread where that's widely discussed (almost monolog in fact). One possible solution (for the current trouble and for FS restrictions, together) could be used a proposed script which take care for everything. Take care for some variable names, erroneously renamed from "dropboxforum" platform (one more bug, also known). Just set the correct name (as noted below the script)!

Hey peeps, thanks for mentioning me here Здравко!
I'd be more than happy to look further into this with you both, we'd need to have a look into this with some additional details so that we can troubleshoot with our specialists.
So that we can gather some device specific info, would you mind if I reached out to both of you, eurico and Здравко, via the email associated with your Community profiles?
If you've already submitted a ticket with the team, just let me know the ticket number (eg. #1234567).
Let me know and I hope you have a great weekend ahead - thanks!

Hi!
Sure, you can contact me via e-mail!
I haven't submitted a ticket yet. I was trying to solve this by myself, but nothing so far.
Is something about Application-Indicator-plugin on XFCE? - Здравко5 years agoLegendary | Level 20
Hi Daphne,
I can't say anything more than described in links I have posted above. There, everything is described in details. About tickets... :laughing: I already have one (I have no idea why you can't see it) for something else, but "speed" is disappointing. :slight_frown: I can't add anything more. If that's not enough for your development (to fix the bug), fire them out. :wink:
Cheers!

Thanks for getting back to me here peeps!
I've reached out to your email eurico, please just check your inbox when you have a chance and we can do some investigation into this.
For me to be able to pass this along to the team, we would need to gather all the relevant info and send this to our specialist via our Support channel which is why I asked to reach out to you via email Здравко.
If you'd like to help us with this and have the time, since I couldn't locate any open active tickets please feel free to create a new ticket here and let me know the ticket number.
Hope you both have a great day!
