When installing Dropbox on Linux, it doesn't create a Dropbox folder.
I am installing Dropbox on a new Linux computer (Ubuntu 20.04, gnome-flashback). I ran ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd but it stopped without completing. The last line it printed was
dropbox: load fq extension '/home/gershwin/.dropbox-dist/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-218.4.4348/PyQt5.QtDBus.so
It did not create a Dropbox folder.
How can I complete the installation?

Hey precision - thanks for letting us know about this.
If you've ensured that your computer meets the minimum requirements, could you let us know if you've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app?
Have you tried installing the app from this link?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
