Title: [solved]no dropbox icon have to enter password every time I boot
Post by: jim2you71 on July 13, 2015, 10:34:42 AM

Running Lite 32 bit updated on my old Toshiba laptop. Runs good and quick.

I installed dropbox from synaptic. Never have gotten an icon to show up in the tray. Now lately every time that I boot after about 30 or 45 seconds I have to enter my password so that dropbox can run.  In other computers I have always right clicked the tray icon and got to the settings.How do I get to the settings to tell it to remember my password?

Thanks

To jim2you71,

Uninstall everything related to Dropbox via Synaptic.  I would just search the word "dropbox" and anything else with dropbox in the name (including and especially "nautilus-dropbox"), and mark them for complete removal.

Open your File Manager.  Hit Ctrl-H and remove the .dropbox folder, if one exists.

Goto Menu->Favorites->Install Updates and run updates.

Reboot

Install Dropbox via Lite Software (Menu->System->Lite Software)
