root@lnx-dropbox:/mnt/external# docker exec -it dropbox gosu dropbox dropbox status
Starting...

[1DontEx1st]

I noticed that the container was mounting /opt/dropbox as its own volume, so instead of bind mounting /opt/dropbox/.dropbox and /opt/dropbox/Dropbox I just bind mounted /opt/dropbox, and it's working. Give that a try and see if it works?

Same issue here and I do it just like the guide says:

docker run --detach -it --restart=always --name=dropbox \
  --net="host" \
  -e "TZ=$(readlink /etc/localtime | sed 's#^.*/zoneinfo/##')" \
  -e "DROPBOX_UID=$(id -u)" \
  -e "DROPBOX_GID=$(id -g)" \
  -e "POLLING_INTERVAL=5" \
  -v "/mnt/storage/appdata/dropbox:/opt/dropbox" \
  -v "/mnt/storage/dropbox:/opt/dropbox/Dropbox" \

I left it for a few hours and it was still in 'Starting'.
