Auto-updates: In progress
CHANGE LOOOOOOOOG !!!!!!!!!!!
really? improvements?
Thank you!!!! The automatic update hasn't worked in I don't know how long and I was never told I was out of date -- this should solve the Dropbox problems I have been having. Could never understand why you wanted to keep this information secret.
Seriously, I couldn't get the RIDICULOUSLY outdated package on the Linux download page to update, no matter how many times I purged and re-installed. It just wouldn't run the start script for anything.
This took me at least an hour to find. Not sure if I'm more annoyed that it was so hard to find or relieved that I finally found it.
Dropbox told us:
From now on, if you wish to be updated for the latest version, please click on the link below :
https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-44-4-58/m-p/266928#M4521
This link will be updated each time we update our application version.
Also, as this is a public thread, it is no more required to contact Dropbox Support for this information
So now I go to that link and (since I'm using Windows, click on the Windows link). There is also a linux link at that link. I added the underline above
Hope this helps

I can't remember which distro I was using, I have a bunch of VMs. I think it was Debian with LXDE.
I seem to remember the link to the linux offline installer installs the command-line version, which I was trying to avoid.
I fixed the problem by deleting the .dropbox folder in my user's home folder and re-installing the 2015 desktop version from the official download link. Then the usual software update I would expect from a new installation happened, thankfully. It took me quite a while to figure this out, but it made my day.
The way we work is changing. Share and discover new ways to work smarter with Dropbox in our community.
