I know this is an old thread, but I'm having an issue getting Dropbox service to start. I have followed the wiki exactly and when I get to the point of issuing "service dropbox start" I get the following error:
======
Starting dropbox (via systemctl): Job for dropbox.service failed. See 'systemctl status dropbox.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
[FAILED]
======
After which I issue "systemctl status dropbox.service" and get:
======

And "journalctl -xn" gives me:
