Dropbox doesn't open file manager

Hi,
recently dropbox has stopped to work properly.
if I click on the icon and after to "open dropbox folder" it should open nautilus (or thunar) as normal.
some days ago has stopped to do that...
if I type "dropbox" on a terminal and I click to open the folder the error is:

Option --no-desktop unknown

what can it be?

Re: Dropbox doesn't open file manager

Dropbox has changed it's whole method.  I can no longer get my camera uploads to work.  Apparently you have to now have the desktop client installed through the Dropbox website and link your phone to it. This doesn't answer your question, but there are issues with Dropbox currently, so I'm guessing your access issue may be related.

Thank you.
I thought it was a file manager issue...
I will try also your suggestion

Re: Dropbox doesn't open file manager

Pretty much to get camera uploads working on the latest Dropbox build here on Arch and on Android I had to log out of Dropbox on Arch. Then open the app on my phone and in settings I had to use the Connect A Computer option.  Follow the prompts which then has you open a Dropbox web page and you scan a QR code which then links your phone to the computer.  The previously installed Dropbox program on Arch (which you just logged out of) then automatically logs itself back in and all the previous Dropbox features work again as they originally did.

I am not logged off.
The problem is that it syncs, I can find the dropbox folder...edit files...everything works fine except for the "open dropbox folder" option on tray icon...
this is the only problem...
