dropbox install problems centos 7.6
Trying to install on a new centos build. Tried using the .rpm files but kept getting this: python3 is needed by nautilus-dropbox-2019.01.31-1.fc21.x86_64 python3-gobject >= 3.14.0 is needed by na...
To summarize:
1) Format home directory as ext4 at CentOS 7 installation (to be compatible with DropBox)
2) Enable FlatHub: https://flatpak.org/setup/CentOS/
3) Download the FlatPak DropBox: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.dropbox.Client
I have the same issue and would like to follow the latest progress through the ticketing system.
Update for those affected.
The headless version from https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux does work if you have a GDE. I managed to successfully install it to my local linux box.
However, installing to my remote AWS instances fails with the above errors. I believe the problem is caused by the app trying to launch a browser because it wants us to validate a new dropbox installation on the machine. (Which doesn't make too much sense when running headless).
Regardless, I'll debug this issue some more when I get the chance (as I am away on vacation currently).
This may be common knowledge now, but for any other newbies searching the forums, you can now use DropBox through FlatPak.
Go here to enable FlatHub: https://flatpak.org/setup/CentOS/
Then here to download the FlatPak DropBox: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.dropbox.Client
My initial post was incomplete. The FlatPak version requires an ext4 partition. To set this up:
1) partition a drive to ext4 (I had to do this at install)
2) make drive mount with each session:
i) create reference folder: mkdir /home/user_name/dropbox_drive
ii) identify name of drive (sda3): ls /dev/hd*
iii) edit hard-drive list: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
iv) add line: /dev/sda3 /home/user_name/dropbox_drive ext4 defaults 1 2Further update: CentOS offers ext4 as a partition format option for the home directory, so there is no need to create and mount a separate partition.
I tried to install via flathub.

Sure wish I could use this program on my machine.Can Dropbox or anyone else tell us which versions of Linux does this App work on?
