Welcome to the forum, kunal2! 

 

Can you let me know what’s the exact OS version of your device? 

 

Have you also tried our offline installer, and it didn’t help?

 

Let me know once you’ve got more updates.

      Thanks for that! Did you also try the offline installer that’s linked above, but it didn’t make a difference?

    Nancy, The link you use to refer to doesn't point to any installer. 😁 There can be seen only 2 zipped Dropbox' daemon versions (one 32bits and other 64bits) - just archives, nothing more Linux related. None of them is installer. Windows and Mac packages are another story - don't mix them (in spite mixed in the page), they're not the same. 😉 Windows and Mac related files are installers.
