I am a complete novice to Linux.

I am unable to install dropbox; when on dropbox download site the .deb 64 bit package downloads but won't install. If I click install it will ask if I wish to remove it, but if I click remove it won't!

    Follow the instructions at https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux. If something fails, edit your question to clearly explain exactly what you did, exactly why you believe that it did not work, and the complete error messages (if any). – user535733 Nov 13 '19 at 13:42
  • cheers managed using dropbox headless install via command line; I can now access my dropbox account from my home directory; it looks like the downloadable package is obsolete. thanks for taking time to reply – Massimo D'Accordi Nov 13 '19 at 14:42

Install Dropbox from the Ubuntu Software Center.

enter image description here

I have installed this on a number of 18.04 machines with absolutely no problems whatever. It also automatically adds an icon to the top bar which goes directly to your Dropbox folder or allow you to load the Dropbox website.

There is no further configuration required. It is designed for the job.
