Dropbox no longer works under Ubuntu 13.10

Question

I use Ubuntu 13.10 and since yesterday my Dropbox client no longer works. A reinstallation (from Software Center) did not help. After every Ubuntu startup the client requests my admin password, but nothing happens.

This is probably a bug with the Ubuntu package that provides (some of) DropBox. I recommend reporting it as one. If you do, I recommend mentioning that Thomas's workaround worked (assuming it did), as that helps to clarify that the bug really probably is in the Ubuntu package. — Eliah Kagan, Jan 17 '14 at 08:54

I had the same problem. My solution was: Uninstall the existing Dropbox client from the Ubuntu Software Center and install the client version from the Dropbox website ( https://www.dropbox.com/install ).

As of July 2015 this solution seems to no longer work. – AdamO Jun 02 '15 at 22:37
