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 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?

Hi powerhouse, the Dropbox desktop application on Linux requires the installation of Glibc 2.19 or higher according to the requirements. The app itself needs to be installed on one of the supported file systems according to this article.
nasdrop, you can see the supported Linux OSes in the above article as well.
Hope this helps!
I have got Dropbox installed on CentOS7 now I just need to make Dropbox sync to /mnt/raid5 but I don't see how. Please see this post
The solution was quite simple actually. I removed the original Dropbox location with rm -rf /home/orca/Dropbox then made a sysmlink to the raid5 ln -s /home/orca/Dropbox/mnt/raid5/Dropbox and now 1TB of data is storing to where I want it too =)
