Dropbox issue in Ubuntu 18.04

[Jalal007]

I updated my OS to  Ubuntu 18.04 (from 16.04).

When I run dropbox, I have this message:

• File "/usr/bin/dropbox", line 232
  except OSError, e:
  ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I deleted Dropbox and install it again, but the issue still persists. any one have some help? Thanks!

Hey there @Jalal007 - sorry to hear that. Would you mind sharing a screenshot of the full error message you get and also make sure you're meeting all of our minimum requirements? 

Also, as you said you've already tried to re-install and this persists, note that you could try an advanced re-install as well.

In any case, keep me posted on your progress Jalal!

Please find the issue's screenshot.

I'am using Ubuntu 18.04 with Unity 7 desktop.

Thanks for the screenshot @Jalal007 - most appreciated.

Sorry if this sounds a bit off, yet, what version of python are you using? 

The error you get may be due to a recent update of your python from python2 to python3. To try and get rid of of this problem you can follow the below steps: 

1. Open cd /usr/bin/dropbox file and in the edit mode.
2. Change the first line from #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/python2
3. Restart Dropbox. 

Let me know how this goes!

Thank you. I works.

I understund now. My default python after upgrading now is python3.

Bests.
