I was able to set up enpass, but without dropbox sync. tried flathub and RPM. Tried chrome and firefox. Enpass is showing loading, after clicking allow... oh. It synced, but after like 10th attempt... and only after setting up Enpass from backup.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>linux download dropbox</div><div></div><div>Download File: https://t.co/Cfd0XeelsZ </div><div></div><div></div><div>Before launching dropboxAUR for the first time, it is mandatory to have python-gpgme installed. Otherwise, the program is unable to sign the binaries and verify the signatures, when it is started the next time. For some reason, dropboxAUR has not marked this package as a required dependency but it is still such.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Since at least version 2.4.6 (see comments around 2013-11-06 on AUR), Dropbox has had an auto-update capability which downloads a new binary to the /.dropbox-dist/ folder. The service then attempts to hand over control to this binary and dies, causing systemd to re-start the service, generating a conflict and an endless loop of log-filling, CPU-eating misery.</div><div></div><div></div><div>For KDE users, no further steps are required, as KDE saves running applications when logging out and restarts them automatically. Similarly for Xfce users, Dropbox will be restarted automatically next time you login since the dropbox.desktop file has been placed in /.config/autostart.</div><div></div><div></div><div>To have Dropbox automatically start when your system boots, simply enable the systemd service, passing your username as the instance identifier. The service unit to be enabled takes the format dropbox username.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Pay attention to use different .../.dropbox-dist/dropboxd binaries. Even when setting a custom HOME value, the /opt/dropbox/dropbox or /opt/dropbox/dropboxd wrappers allow only one instance and when started they will kill the one already running.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Workarounds have been created; see for example dropbox-fix2AUR[broken link: package not found]. These workarounds are based on substituting the filesystem detection functions by the use of LD_PRELOAD.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Several file managers such as Thunar, GNOME Files or its fork Nemo come with extensions that provide context menu entries for files and folders inside your Dropbox. Most of them will result in a browser action such as opening the file or folder in dropbox.com or sharing the link. If you experience these entries not working, then it is likely you have not set the $BROWSER variable which Dropbox requires. See Environment variables for details.</div><div></div><div></div><div>While checking the preferences menu on my Dropbox app from Linux, I noticed that a new hyperlink named 'Try the new dropbox Desktop app' appeared. However, it seems that it is only available on Mac and Windows.</div><div></div><div></div><div>If the new version for linux doesn't come out, will it be possible to continue using the old one?</div><div></div><div>Will there be a lightweight client for folder synchronization only (like the current one, for instance)?</div><div></div><div></div><div>Remark: if dropbox was installed from the command line, the line "Exec=dropbox start -i" doesn't work, it needs to be replaced by "Exec=/home/username/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd" where /home/username is your home directory.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Further findings; the settings accessible by right clicking the dropbox tray icon does follow gtk theme and font settings. It is the initial set up that does not, and that is crucial to the account and linking of the computer. Nothing works in Dropbox without the initial account linking from your computer in the desktop linux application. (just to be clear that the web site has nothing to do with this computer set up)</div><div></div><div></div><div>If you want to sync any folders that are not contained within your home/Dropbox/ directory, then you can use a symbolic linc to do so.
