Fix is to change permissions of libdropbox_apex

sudo chmod 755 /opt/dropbox/libdropbox_apex.so

Workaround is using version 79.4.143 while freeze (chmod a-w -R ~/.dropbox-dist). 🎅

    Thanks Здравко,

    Worked!  I downloaded the older version from https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-79-4-143/td-p/360015

    It wasn't an installer so I copy and pasted the contents into my ~/.dropbox-dist and replace all.   I restarted and it worked for a little while until it auto-updated, thereby breaking it again.  Now I see what you mean -- I need to also lock the folder with your recommendation: 

    chmod a-w -R ~/.dropbox-dist

    So far so good.   Back in business, literally.  :dart:

      Yes gmanfredi. That's right. At some later moment (let's hope no too far) back operation (unlock and allow auto update) is:

      chmod u+w -R ~/.dropbox-dist

      Good luck everyone. :wink:
