    I just noticed that one of my photos had the error of

    libatomic.so.1: can't open

    Blah

    libatomic error detect

    On searching for libatomic in askubuntu I found answer1. This was a question about failure to implement answer2.

    Anyway on running the following command (as in answer2 )

    sudo apt install libatomic1

    It was fixed. Dropbox GUI and CLI are working now.
