    Hey cyenx, let me jump in here! 

    If you could uninstall, and reinstall and then give us a heads up that'd be amazing. If you notice the same behavior let us know.

Hi cyenx, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Have you tried uninstalling the Dropbox CLI entirely, and then reinstalling it to see if this helps?

Do you have any GUI in order to attempt to load the full Dropbox desktop application itself?

Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

    1. Haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling, will try later
    2. No GUI interface, I installed the pure daemon version

        Uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the issue, thanks for the reply
