upgrade path from 3.6 ?

I remember a while ago, that someone said that there is no upgrade path from my current version 3.6.  I that still the case?

If I need to do a clean install, is there a way to keep my free Dropbox installation without having to reinstall Dropbox, as I would need to upgrade my Dropbox account.  I currently only have a free basic Dropbox account which means I can I can only sign into max of three devices at a time (new rules introduced 2019).

Unfortunately I don't have home on a separate partition.  So I believe that is a major problem.  I just wondered is there a workaround to avoid new Dropbox installation?

1. Yes, there's no path to upgrade between  versions, so you'll have to do a clean install.
2. You can try and save your Dropbox settings, these are located in a hidden .dropbox folder in /home, find that folder, select it, right-click on it and from the context menu select compress or some similar wording, save the compressed file to a different location, i.e. a USB stick, that way when you install it again in LL 5.4, you just need to extract it in your new /home and it will use those same settings. However,  read here https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integr...box-folder
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us Smile
