[SOLVED] Dropbox is eternally starting

Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem with Dropbox eternally starting. I've tried many things including re-installing Dropbox from the respositories, from AUR, deleting the .dropbox folders in my home directory, installing kfilebox as I use KDE. I've tried killing and re-starting as I had read that it endlessly starts if it can't see a wifi connection. I've searched forums for similar problems but to no avail so now I'm genuinely stuck. It used to work fine, so I'm not sure what changed.

Any advice or suggestions as to what to do next?

Thanks in advance!

[EDIT]

I managed to solve the problem by changing the name of my Dropbox folder in my Home directory. Dropbox then asks to re-link and starts to download the files so this is something you can do if you've tried everything else like I have!
