Auto-updates: In progress
CHANGE LOOOOOOOOG !!!!!!!!!!!
really? improvements?
Thank you!!!! The automatic update hasn't worked in I don't know how long and I was never told I was out of date -- this should solve the Dropbox problems I have been having. Could never understand why you wanted to keep this information secret.
Seriously, I couldn't get the RIDICULOUSLY outdated package on the Linux download page to update, no matter how many times I purged and re-installed. It just wouldn't run the start script for anything.
This took me at least an hour to find. Not sure if I'm more annoyed that it was so ****** to find or relieved that I finally found it.
Dropbox told us:
From now on, if you wish to be updated for the latest version, please click on the link below : https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-44-4-58/m-p/266928#M4521This link will be updated each time we update our application version. Also, as this is a public thread, it is no more required to contact Dropbox Support for this information
So now I go to that link and (since I'm using Windows, click on the Windows link). There is also a linux link at that link. I added the underline above
Hope this helps

I can't remember which distro I was using, I have a bunch of VMs. I think it was Debian with LXDE.
I seem to remember the link to the linux offline installer installs the command-line version, which I was trying to avoid.
I fixed the problem by deleting the .dropbox folder in my user's home folder and re-installing the 2015 desktop version from the official download link. Then the usual software update I would expect from a new installation happened, thankfully. It took me quite a while to figure this out, but it made my day.
