Dropbox: Update failed

Hi there,
I installed the Dropbox add on and everything worked fluently... Until I tried to upgrade to the latest stable version 2.0.4 today. Then I end up with
installed version: Null
And the push buttons except "enable Auto Update" disappear.
Then it does not react very well on the enable, start, ... buttons. It changes somehow the appearance in Frontview, but the pragram behind does not work proper.
I deinstalled the add on, removed all dropbox folders, also /c/.dropbox... and reinstalled it. It installed again to version 2.0.0. but when I try to upgrade immedeately from here I end up with the same.

What can help?

Unfortunately after reinstall the link to connect to the dropbox after pressing the blue button is also "null". How can this be repaired without factory reset of the NAS..?

  • I got the same recently, I just left it at whatever the stable was working, the update seems broken.

    Interesting. The Update to 2.0.4 worked fine on my Ultra 6 running RAIDiator-x86 4.2.22

    Well, it seems that I was too impatient... Finally everything is working. The update takes quite a long time to accomplish, but finally the next morning the things looked good. Then stopping the service, deleting directories, restarting and reconnecting to the dropbox, et voilà... it is working.

    In the meantime I upgraded to 2.0.5 quite fluently...

    Thanks for your support!
