    Sorry to hear about this Vicon!

     

    First off, are you meeting all of our minimum requirements as per this page?

     

    More specifically, Dropbox needs the following software to work on desktop environments:

     

    • Glibc 2.19 or higher
    • GTK 2.24 or higher
    • Glib 2.40 or higher
    • Libappindicator 12.10 or higher
    • Nautilus 3.10.1 or higher

     

    Having said that and as I'd really like to help with this, would you mind trying an advanced reinstall  using this installer to see if this will fix your problem?  In the meantime, you may also want to review this Help Center article too. 

     

    Keep me posted on your findings!

It's so boring this situation. And it is repeating all times when I boot my computer.

Hi eddiesaliba,

I fully agree! Unfortunately Dropbox don't take care. You can try delay the starting process or, as bnpndxtr mentions, try remove "-i" ending in the command of Dropbox desktop file, but not in "autostart" of your user folder. Make the change in "/usr/share/applications/dropbox.desktop" and restart the application. This will not solve the bug, but will prevent the bringing up of stupid message.

Good luck.
