  • Dropbox under Flatpak

    I'm running 15.6 Leap with KDE, now I need to have Dropbox running for a collaborative project and things are not working as I'd like them to (as
    in: "at all").
    "Discover" offers Dropbox, as a Flatpak application. I have installed
    both Flatpak and Dropbox but have no idea how to actually use Dropbox.
    Back around 2020/21 I also needed Dropbox for a while and back then I
    had it running locally in $HOME/.dropbox-dist. I started that version
    again but all I had access to was the files I was using back in 2021 and obviously that is no help at all.

    As an aside, I'm having general problems with networking. Both of my
    machines have two network cards, one pointing to the internal network
    (fixed addresses) and one pointing to the outside world. The two are
    supposed to be able to use NFS to share files but only one of them
    actually works as an NFS server. Probably a firewall problem but both
    come up with identical error messages when I start the Yast2 Firewall
    module.
