Dropbox install on Ubuntu 20.04

[eicossa]

Tried the Ubuntu Software Centre version of Dropbox. It just gets stuck on a status of "Syncing" and doesn't seem to be doing anything (Recently Changed Files does not show anything)

Then tried the headless install and ran the ./dropboxd executable. I keep getting this error

Unable to monitor entire Dropbox folder hierarchy. Please run "echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p" and restart Dropbox to fix the problem.

I keep running this command and my /etc/sysctl.conf has a number of lines that say fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000

But i keep getting the above message.

Lastly, i tried the compile-from-source method and i get this error when i run ./configure

checking for pygtk... no
configure: error: couldn't find pygtk

Tried to install pygtk using this script but it doesn't work because of some version issues with libpango.

pango.c: In function ‘_wrap_PangoFont__do_find_shaper’:  

pango.c:3822:32: error: ‘PangoFontClass’ {aka ‘struct _PangoFontClass’} has no member named ‘find_shaper’
