I can't replicate the problem.

You have given no details. No system specs, no update details, no desktop environment details, no install details, nothing for anyone to go on. You didn't even say for sure that you were running PCLinuxOS.

There are rules for requesting help, some of them must be followed. No one here can help you if you are running Ubuntu.  ;)

If you mean the message that reads "You are running Dropbox from an unsupported location" that appears on first run, you can safely ignore it and click "Don't Ask Again".
Dropbox will run fine next time and you can configure it without any issues.

Blackadam1518, I have noticed that not one of your "questions or problems" have been marked as (Solved).

Have you reached a satisfying solution to any of your concerns?  :P

What version of Dropbox are you using?
Is there a button that reads "Don't Ask Again" in that notification?

A screenshot would be very helpful.
