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

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 2

Further 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.

Funcionou Perfeitamente!! Obrigado! - powerhouse6 years agoHelpful | Level 6
So looks like installing dropbox on sda1 wont work because its vfat.
Good thing I partitioned the raid5 as ext4. So now is there anyway I can tell Dropbox installation to install to sdc? That would be a glorious accomplishment.
