208 TopicsFailing to install Dropbox on Linux
I've been trying to install Dropbox on my Linux machine, but it has failed. The URL on the website to download Dropbox on Linux is not working. When I try to run it in the terminal, it directs me to a login page (It says it's a requirement to log in before downloading), which also does not work. Please guide me on how to make it work on my computer.Solved21Views0likes5CommentsOpenPGP signature verification failed with Debian Trixie.

I've gone over to Linux Mint 22.2, have dropbox installed. I want to move it to my data drive...no problem. I made the move using the dropbox app, pointing it to my data drive. It did the sync fine, moved the files over, and all is good. Restart. Upon restart, I get this error message, and can't do anything about it. If I do a relink, it automatically installs the dropbox back on my OS drive and ignores everything it had just done prior the restart. How do I fix this without reinstalling it on my OS drive? Thank you.91Views0likes10CommentsDropbox desktop app Linux Ubuntu failed to install.
Hi, I just received an email about the new desktop app so I downloaded it and tried to install it but the install fails with an error on libglib2. My system is a new install of Ubuntu Mate 24.04 with version 2.80.0-6ubuntu3.1 of glib2 which is >= 2.40Solved266Views0likes6CommentsDropbox for Linux using up a lot of RAM
Application Affected Dropbox Device Lenovo Xiaoxin Mini PC Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Debian13 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 237.3.5516 Question or Issue Within a few minutes of starting Dropbox, it consumes most of my machine's memory. My machine has a total of 32GB of RAM, and when it reaches about 25GB, the kernel's earlyoom is triggered, causing Dropbox to be killed. After I restart Dropbox, it is still killed within a few minutes, making it impossible for me to use it normally. I want to know if Dropbox has a feature to limit its own memory usage, or if there are any other solutions?Solved96Views0likes5CommentsRAM memory usage goes through the roof
I'm using Ubuntu. Dropbix used to work fine on my system but recently something happened and when trying to sync files, the memory usage rapidly increases to max up 32 GB RAM, and then the system freezes and the Dropbox apps shut down. This happens when trying to upload a small file. What could lead to such a behavior?572Views3likes12CommentsSame Dropbox folder and for multiple Linux distros, pointing to the same account.
Hello.... I have Kubuntu 24.04 and Fedora 42 KDE distro in my machine. Each have Dropbox installed. My question is: How to set a single Dropbox folder for those 2 distros with same Dropbox account? My goal is: To preserve storage space. Thank you in advance. [EDIT] Here are steps I have done: Install Dropbox on Kubuntu and setup Dropbox as usual. Dropbox folder set to /home/kubuntu/user/Dropbox. Then, move Dropbox folder to /home/dropbox.d/Dropbox. Install Dropbox on Fedora and setup Dropbox as usual. Dropbox folder set to /home/fedora/user/Dropbox. Delete folder /home/dropbox.d/Dropbox so Dropbox folder set to in step 3 can move to this folder. FYI: /home partition on Kubuntu and Fedora is the same physic partition. It's on /dev/sda12. I've tried these steps for editing file, adding new file, delete existing file. It seems no problem here. Do my steps are correct? Or, maybe there are another steps more powerful and efficient enough?Solved115Views0likes3CommentsDropbox says my environment doesn't support tray icon, by it does
In the following image you can see the dropbox system tray icon top right, with the error message below it. I am using the `i3wm` on Ubuntu with `i3status` to show the icons. To me this is a bug in the dropbox software failing to detect the presence of app indicator support correctlty, on argueabley the most common custom window manager.3.4KViews2likes32CommentsDropbox needs to update the required Fedora repository.
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. This is just a heads up that Fedora Linux was updated earlier this week to 42 and so the Dropbox Fedora repository is now producing error messages as it's still pointing to 41. The repository is at https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora.2.2KViews7likes39CommentsDebian Trixie is expecting an InRelease file
Operating System Linux Debian 13 - Trixie Dropbox App Version v231.4.5770 I can see a Release file at Release file Debian is expecting an "InRelease" file as well as per this message when updating with apt: Error: Audit: Repositories should provide a clear-signed InRelease file, but none found at http://linux.dropbox.com/debian/dists/trixie/InRelease. It should be just a matter of adding the appropriate file in the same folder. This error is stopping the app to update properly.Solved265Views0likes4Comments
