DropBox: Not able to link account
Hello everyone, I recently purchased the following addon - Dropbox (vInstall-rnx86-1.0.1):
viewtopic.php?f=48&t=58647
It was installed on a newly updated (factory reset) ReadyNas Pro Business Edition.
Currently, the following addons are also installed:
In addition, the following services are running:
Now, the installs goes without a hitch. The current Installed version is: 2.2.8. I immediately update to the latest stable release of 2.2.9. So far, so good.
Next, I follow the instructions on how to configure the Drobox add on:
viewtopic.php?f=48&t=58647
This is where I get stuck, specifically the configuration step. After enabling the add on and the Global dropbox, the daemon starts, then stops. After which it never starts again.

The only way to have it start again is to remove the addon, then manually remove all dropbox folders, even after clearing my web caches on several web browsers and rebooting the ReadyNAS itself. Before I remove the addon and after, no dice. The same when I remove, reboot, re-install.
After removing the add on and clicking on "Cancel" during removal, I am manually deleting the following folders by doing:
which returns directories in:
/c/.dropbox/
/c/.dropbox-dist.2.2.8/
/c/.dropbox-dist.2.2.9/
/c/Dropbox (this one is OK, it is a share that I created, since Dropbox doesn't automatically create one for Global)
A simple
Now, no directories exist except my share, however, there are also some text files in "/tmp/"
./tmp/dropbox_error1DQn6M.txt
./tmp/dropbox_errorcxtOPP.txt
./tmp/dropbox_errorNW9OrF.txt
./tmp/dropbox_errorSUJlLz.txt
./tmp/dropbox_errorxOa2mm.txt
./tmp/dropbox_error4ecQAi.txt
./tmp/dropbox_errorPi68YR.txt
./tmp/dropbox_error5aCw15.txt
WTH!?
From here, the rest of the error logs return the same content.
Now, I have been reading the following topics:
viewtopic.php?f=36&t=65909
hmm, I have PHP enabled...

Finally, here is some information that might be useful:
I have an account and everything with dropbox, but I just can't get the thing up and running. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Exactly the same.
Teaming = IEEE 802.3ad LACP (Layer 3+4)
Domain Name Server 1 (DNS) for Ultra6-NAS = 192.168.1.1 (default gateway)
Domain Name Server 2 (DNS) for Ultra6-NAS = 192.168.1.239 (switch)
No Jumbo Frames, No VLAN, nothing special and this connects to available apps just fine to everything.
