The app stopped syncing on Linux (two different machines).
My dropbox stopped syncing recently on two different linux machines after restart. I spent hours trying to upgrade the first one before I restarted the second one and noticed that it had the same p...
Thanks for your response.
I have quit and restarted Dropbox multiple times on both machines. I also restarted the first broken machine, then updated linux and restarted it again. The problem started on the second machine when I rebooted it (which I did to test whether this would happen).
I meet all of the requirements, but as my report states I was _not_ able to install the app (on either machine). I am instead using the nautilus-dropbox package (and have been for many years).
I don't have any firewalls or vpns running.
Both machines have been running Dropbox for months without changes before they stopped working in the last few days.
I also deleted all of my dropbox stuff and tried the "headless" approach. That seems to have installed fine, but has the same problem as all of the other approaches. It just says "Starting..." forever.

Thanks.
I'll try when I get a chance... already tried most of it. It's not likely that just redoing things will fix anything now that I know that the same problem happened on four stable machines. How do I get diagnostic help?
