Hello,
i want to install Dropbox at my blank, newly created gcloud server. Its a ubuntu 18.04 linux version.
But the installation fails with the error message:
"ImportError: libglapi.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
The only commands i entered at the as mentioned new created machine were:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wget
cd ~ && wget -O - "https/www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
And the whole installation log i got:

What is happerning there?
One month ago it worked fine.
I hope you can help me there
Solved! Go to Solution.
I have another solution, thats fits more into my requirements than dropbox do.
Sorry, about that, but i need a stable linux version, and i had too much issues with the dropbox soultion.
I also needed a fast solution, so it could be that someone could have helped me here, but i cant wait for that.
Can be closed.
For everybody who wants to know, i switched to MegaSync.
