root@lnx-dropbox:/mnt/external# docker exec -it dropbox gosu dropbox dropbox status Starting...

I noticed that the container was mounting /opt/dropbox as its own volume, so instead of bind mounting /opt/dropbox/.dropbox and /opt/dropbox/Dropbox I just bind mounted /opt/dropbox, and it's working. Give that a try and see if it works?

Same issue here and I do it just like the guide says:

docker run --detach -it --restart=always --name=dropbox \
  --net="host" \
  -e "TZ=$(readlink /etc/localtime | sed 's#^.*/zoneinfo/##')" \
  -e "DROPBOX_UID=$(id -u)" \
  -e "DROPBOX_GID=$(id -g)" \
  -e "POLLING_INTERVAL=5" \
  -v "/mnt/storage/appdata/dropbox:/opt/dropbox" \
  -v "/mnt/storage/dropbox:/opt/dropbox/Dropbox" \
  otherguy/dropbox:latest

I left it for a few hours and it was still in 'Starting'.

I had the same problem, but after fiddling around a bit, I made it finally work for me. The trick is actually to initially start the docker image without the mount bind to the Dropbox folder. Once you have the client authenticated you can stop the container and restart it with the mount bind. (make sure to replace your UID and GID and mount paths)

Here are my steps:

  1. docker run --name dropbox --rm -e DROPBOX_UID=<your UID> -e DROPBOX_GID=<your GID> -v "/volume1/homes/lukas/dropbox_test/settings:/opt/dropbox/.dropbox" otherguy/dropbox

  2. After authenticating the client make sure that the settings folder contains info.json and unlink.db (if not, the whole process did not work)

  3. stop your container and restart it with docker run --name dropbox --rm -e DROPBOX_UID=<your UID> -e DROPBOX_GID=<your GID> -v "/volume1/dropbox/client_settings:/opt/dropbox/.dropbox" -v "/volume1/dropbox/data:/opt/dropbox/Dropbox" otherguy/dropbox

Although the dropbox daemon is a bit flacky and seems to crash every now and then... an alternative could be rclone, however I couldnt make it run with a mount initially (though I haven't spent much time on it).

Hope this helps someone

Thanks, it works! I was not able to run it on my Unraid.
