For me, on a 13.1 system, dropbox always wants to update itself when I log in if my network includes a wired connection. If it is wireless-only, it does not do this. I have decided to consider it a quirky cute feature as I do not usually have a wired connection on this computer. My network is not managed by ifup/traditional, so neither interface is up when I log in. But maybe the wired one comes up quicker so dropbox gets a chance to look for updates. Just a guess.

For the last couple of weeks on my desktop only (not on my laptop or work computer) dropbox is showing in the system tray with a big black box surrounding the usual white logo.

I have not installed anything new other than the regular updates. I have rolled back using snapper I have removed dropbox and the .dropbox and .dropbox-dist directories from my home folder and re-installed dropbox.

Any ideas?

Dropbox started going through the install process every time I reboot.

This happened when I encrypted my home directory. It turns out that dropbox silently updates itself in ~/.dropbox.dist and that is where your dropbox loads from.

But it seems to load and try to run before I even get a chance to key in my decryption password for home, and as such it can't launch, and drops back to thinking I need to authenticate and add my account again.

I think I read that some part of systemd is involved somehow, but its not clear to me how this could work.
