Proprietary daemon and python-gpgme

Hi, I try to install Dropbox on Linux. When I clicked on the Dropbox icon or visited www.dropbox.com/download, I got a message: In order to use Dropbox, you must download the proprietary daemon. No...

Does the ‘Don’t show this again’ checkbox not work? If it doesn’t I’ll forward it to our dev team to investigate this further.

"we will not be able to verify binary signatures" - I am not going to mute a warning about that.

    It does appear that a software architect hasnt coded the latest version of Dropbox correctly.  What is the proprietary daemon... surely this should be within the installation if required ( Obtained from the Linux Mint Software Store) and why state you need to have obsolete software??? 

    Please update Dropbox source code to include support for python-gpg.  Im not going to ignore a warning box that could compromise any security. 

     

    The Windows & Android versions just run without any of this hassle!
