Hey feub, sorry to see that you're having an issue.

 

It's a different issue than the OP, but let's see what we can find.

 

If you haven't already, can you restart both your computer and the Dropbox app, to see if that helps?

 

If not, you can try to do an uninstall/reinstall as a first step and go from there.

Hi Hannah ,

Thank you for the reply.

Yes I tried restarting both the computer and Dropbox. And I tried 2 types of installations: the one on the rpmfusion-nonfree repo and the RPM downloaded from the official Dropbox website. Same result, Dropbox works, but impossible to get its graphical interface, so no settings, nothing available...

    Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
