I'm getting an error message "Could not start the Dropbox daemon" for a Fedora 31 install.
Hello,
I tried to install dropbox on my fresh installation of Fedora 31. The error that i got is "Could not start the dropbox daemon" if i run the installation on terminal i got additional details ...
Hi, I just used this command on my Fedora 31 Workstaion before installing Dropbox. The Dropbox daemon starts successfully now, and the sync function works well.
sudo dnf install libatomic
Now the only problem is the tray icon keeps showing "Connecting...", but it does not affect the running.
Hi, I suppose this issue is somehow caused by the new upgrade of Dropbox which shows a new version number 85.4.155 at the directory ~/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-85.4.155 .
For I can remember, the version number was 84.4.170 before I reinstalled Fedora 31 yesterday, and it worked.
I tried to install Dropbox via both Fedora repo and the rpm package proived by Dropbox, but all failed at the point of starting Dropbox daemon.
Hope this helps.
I had to install libatomic1 manually:
sudo apt-get install libatomic1
fyi- this problem started for me when upgrading to 85.4.155
Any idea how to install on Fedora 31?

- I tried also to install manually the libatomic with no luck.
same error.
also got error connection with tye server dropbox when i tried to install the missing package but somehow the fedora installed successfully!
Any idea how to resolve the issue?
But this command sudo apt-get install libatomic1 works in fedora?
Installing dropbox-lnx.x86_64-85.4.155 on Ubuntu 18.04 had the same problem.
Install libatomic1 manually worked for me too:
sudo apt-get install libatomic1
After using "sudo apt-get install libatomic1" worked perfectly fine for me in Ubuntu 18.04 too!!
Thanks a lot
This also worked for me, also running 18.04
