I've installed dropbox from the repo ("apt install dropbox") and..I can't seem to start it. There is no dropbox on the menu. When I do a "which dropbox" I get nothing..which means there is no executable? When I try to install .deb from the dropbox website, it warns me I should install the one from the repo..
So what's the wisest course of action here? My /home folder is a separate partition, and I already have a version of dropbox installed there from my previous OS (Mint vulgaris). Can I simply add that to my startup apps?
I'm on LMDE 64bit / Cinnamon / UP6 (even though the update manager still says UP5?)

Re: Dropbox from repositories does not contain dropbox?
Not familar with LMDE do you use nautilus? Nemo? Caja?
As repo's show three versions to install. So seems dependent on file manager used? Just guessing and no expert.
nautilus-dropbox
nemo-dropbox
caja-dropbox
Since I use nemo installed that and have a icon in Internet menu.

Re: Dropbox from repositories does not contain dropbox?
Hm...actually, none of those..? I usually just use Krusader for file management (or the command line), due to severe lack of Total Commander on linux.
In my repos I see:
dropbox (installed)
nautilus-dropbox
caja-dropbox (installed)
libnet-dropbox-api-perl
nemo-dropbox
But, shouldn't these be only for integration with the file manager? I was expecting dropbox package to simply install dropbox, without integration?
