DropBox: Not able to link account

Decided to take a more manual approach. Here is what I did.

first, went to my Dropbox share directory and ran:

wget --no-check-certificate -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf -

A new directory was created in my DB share:
/Dropbox/.dropbox-dist/

checked the version: 2.2.8

Now I install the app using Frontview. I verify the version installed (/c/.dropbox-dist/) is the same: 2.2.8. It is.

I copy the contents of the wget version from /Dropbox/.dropbox-dist to/c/.dropbox-dist (essentially overwriting the add on install, which looks to be the exact same version!)

OK, now I enable Global Dropbox account daemon. This runs without issue. no errors logged in /tmp that pertain to dropbox.

Now, I start the Global Dropbox user daemon. Nothing starts. No error logs in tmp, FV logs show no errors. Nothing appears to be happening.

Decide to enable the DropBox add-on now. Dropbox add-on service start with no issues. Confirmed in Frontview logs and no errors logged in /tmp.

Attempting to start again the Global Dropbox user daemon… Nothing! No errors anywhere?! OK, I disable Global Dropbox account Daemon… Restart… nothing.

Now, let me try to upgrade from Frontview to latest stable (2.2.9) release. Update successful.

Seems that the contents of /c/.dropbox-dist get updated to whatever build is reflected on Frontview as "Installed Version" and the old contents get put in a new directory called /c/.dropbox-dist.2.2.8, where previous build is reflected.

Let me try to start the Global Dropbox user daemon… Now I get an error in /tmp! same one.

Ugh, I don't know what "Exception: statvfs failed with retval -1" means. I mean, I know what it means, but what is the return value of -1, specifically?

Back to square one...
