Description

Dropbox recently sent an email saying

> On October 15, Dropbox is ending support for Ubuntu 13.10 and below, and Fedora 20 and below. You must have glibc 2.19 or higher to continue using the Dropbox desktop application.

To get around this problem, I installed docker and ran Dropbox in a docker container. I used instructions from [here][blog]. After successfully installing dropbox. I needed to login to my account/link my computer to the dropbox account

The log file from dropbox said to go to

> Please visit https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce=testingtest to link this device.

However the linked dropbox website asked me to

> go back to the Dropbox installer and enter the following link code: resttest

I do not know how to input the code to the dropbox running in the docker container .

Research direction

Start with the linked Docker setup instructions and the Dropbox log output showing the CLI link nonce and requested code. Determine how account linking is expected to work inside this container; done means a user can complete the Dropbox business-account link without an undocumented manual step.
