Problem in Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS - Dropbox stopped working
My Dropbox folder is no longer syncing. I used to run smoothly, so I am guessing a recent Ubuntu update broke something. This is what I get when I run Dropbox on the command line:

I've found ensuring the the ~/.dropbox and ~/.dropbox-dist are fully owned by my user account solved this issue for me.

Dear Здравко,
Thank you for all your help!
No, unfortunately I cannot sync. Dropbox is not running! Check the last line on the image below!

Hm..🤔 Strange...
There is a small chance some erroneous app instance to run already. There are known bugs. Try what is already running using something like:
ps ax | grep dropbox
If needed stop all running (possibly died) instances, try something like:
killall dropbox
...or equivalent commands. Let's hope this will work.
You can try pass around the control script using:
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
Let's see if the "panic" will stay in such a way (key moment).
