Beatboxer Helpful | Level 6

I tinkered around trying various things, including trying a new RPM, and now it's syncing. I have no idea what actually worked, as I got various error messages about conflicts which I may or may not have solved.

PS—I use nemo, not nautilus. But if I open nautilus it doesn't sync either.

I'm referring to the post that Neal Mc said went into spam "as it was about the same issue." Here's the page I see when I click the link in the "augustus" email I mentioned. The subject line of the email is different than usual: "Subscription Update on The Dropbox Community" I don't think there any issue, but it is…

I thought the other thread was about my difficulties installing the dropbox plugin for nemo, which seems a different issue, not a second post on the issue in this thread. Is that any chance to resurrect that thread? I had included a lot of detail about what didn't work that I can't reproduce. 

Dropbox is running fine now. I think the answer (or workable workaround) is to click OK on the prompt that comes up (see image at top of thread) or run 'dropbox start -i'. (I got an email notification that AugustusHarbor posted a useful comment two days ago, but for some reason it's not showing here in the thread....)

The Fedora Software utility indicates that the Flatpak version of dropbox is installed. Is that the same as the "proprietary dropbox daemon" that the popup tells me I need to install?

Tree ran without sudo, just now. I think I used sudo because I had the ff result early on, with the "[error opening dir]". Since using sudo gave the second result without the error, I just continued doing it. The ls command gave me seven-five-five [for some reason the "community" does not allow me to use the numerals] all…

?? Now my terminal printouts have reappeared...? Anyway, I hope it helps the Dropbox Linux team see what might be happening here. Thanks for the support.

About a half hour ago I replied with a whole bunch of the printouts you requested, but now that reply is not showing here...? In the meantime I rebooted, so the results are no longer visible in my terminal.

(I was wrong about not needing to re-install after today's update. The little dots showed up in the screen header but I realized they were not responsive. As you'll see below, "dropbox start" returned "The Dropbox daemon is not installed.") ======= eric@fedora:~$ dropbox start Starting Dropbox... The Dropbox daemon is not…

It's strange. It doesn't seem to happen on a plain reboot. The other day, after several apps and the system were updated, it wanted me to reinstall the "proprietary daemon." But then this morning there were a few more updates, and Dropbox continued fine after I rebooted. It seems that certain kinds of updates must…

There were about eight updates in the Fedora (Gnome?) software management app. I don't have any record now of what they were (maybe buried in some log somewhere). One included some Fedora system stuff, I think. None involved Dropbox. After Fedora did the downloads and updates and rebooted, I logged in and got the popup…

That doesn't seem to answer my question about the strange message. Dropbox was working for me. I did a software update using the Fedora software app. When I logged in, the mysterious message appeared, seeming to imply that somehow, in my software update, the Dropbox proprietary daemon was removed. So my question is, is…

Now the file I added to the directory is up at Dropbox. I don't understand. Stay tuned. Maybe it's working, maybe not.
