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?
