    LANdpLAN, what are you asking for actually? Where Linux is installed doesn't matter; the important thing is compatible configuration (installed libraries, FS, etc).

      I am using Frigal Pup 64 V9.5 and I've installed Dropbox 198.4.7615 with PPM.  I used Palemoon 33 to sign in.
      Now dropbox says "Your Dropbox folder is on a file system that is no longer supported." I can choose:
      >see requirements...>https://help.dropbox.com/sync/files-not-syncing#location
      or Quit Dropbox
      or Move> and I tried to save but it gave me the same error "Your Dropbox folder is on a file system that is no longer supported."

        Hey LANdpLAN - sorry to jump in here, but did you make sure that the partition/drive your Dropbox folder is using a supported file system from the ones mentioned here?
