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:
yuri@yuri-dell:~$ dropbox start
Starting Dropbox...Bootstrap panicked!!
The Dropbox daemon is not installed!
Run "dropbox start -i" to install the daemon
If I do what it tells me to do, this is what I get:
yuri@yuri-dell:~$ dropbox start -i
Starting Dropbox...Bootstrap panicked!!

Done!
Any ideas of what might be the problem and how to solve it?
Thank you very much in advance!

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