Hi brandonbate,
According to what you describe, your Dropbox application is running finally. 🙂 As seems you don't have big experience in terminal. When some application work there it usually doesn't return until finish. That's something normal and not a freezing. 😉
You can install the deb package or the control script that take care to demonize the application, so you would be able to do something else in the same terminal. An alternative may be explicitly detaching the command by adding ampersand at the end. Execute following command instead:
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd&
Does your application still "freeze"? ❄🤫
Hope this helps.
Yes, nothing changed. BUT...... now I need to open another console instance and follow the very well known steps to login. So all I need is add
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd&to systemd or similar Thank you.
