Ubuntu 24.04.1 - Nautilus Dropbox failed to install
Actual Dropbox runs just fine but got a new package upgrade.
Error while installing :
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Some packages could not...
Здравко, thanks for your quick reply.
i had a dropbox app logo on the upper right site of my screen, it showed options etc.
i removed " nautilus-dropbox" .
Synchronisation stopped. The dropbox app was gone.
I reinstalled :
dropbox_2024.04.17_amd64.deb
Rebooted.
The app at the upper right is back but shows no options.
But mij Dropbox-folder is now syncronising (also shown green(v) in Nautilus).
Dont now why there is a " nautilus-dropbox_2024.04.17_all.deb" ?
Seems to be recent...
Hi Rene J.4,
Why at all do you try install dummy package? 🤷 Just remove deprecated 'nautilus-dropbox' and install the actual one only - 'dropbox'. That's it. 😉
Good luck.
PS: It's not something new that Dropbox cannot format properly their packages, so don't rely on the automatic dependency resolution.

'nautilus-dropbox' is the old package name of Dropbox application. It's just an empty package for years already. Dropbox keeps it for back compatibility only as a name.
About missing options - Dropbox application on Linux has never worked stable actually. Look around different workarounds here on the forum. Let's hope some of them will work for you.
Thank you, i understand, but is confusing. It works now thanks to your tip.
