Dropbox could not start

Question

I have problems starting Dropbox, My Dropbox folder path is set to a different internal hard drive from my Ubuntu 16.04 installation drive.

I get the following error message:

Uninstalling and reinstalling did nothing. Running chmod 777 did nothing

Answer 1

What I ended up doing:

Delete Dropbox:

sudo apt-get remove --purge nautilus-dropbox

Manually delete the dropboxfolder:

sudo rm -r Dropbox

Install dropbox again. and it stated syncing
