Among these popular Cloud Drive service providers, Dropbox is the only one offering official Linux client. However, errors wll pop up when starting the service. The reason is some dependencies missing in Ubuntu 20.04.

Solution:

1	sudo apt install libc6 libglapi-mesa libxdamage1 libxfixes3 libxcb-glx0 libxcb-dri2-0 libxcb-dri3-0 libxcb-present0 libxcb-sync1 libxshmfence1 libxxf86vm1

The Dropbox will generate a unique one-time link, and user need to copy this link into a browser to authorize the action.

Once the service running, the Dropbox will sync your library under the home folder.
