[Solved]Dropbox does´n connect

Question

Dear Arch-users,
I´m a big fan of dropbox but with a new install on an older laptop it doesn't seem to start.
Normal behavior:
Install start dropbox wait couple of seconds en it will pop-up a window asking me to log in.
Behavior right now :
Try to start it but I only get an tray icon. Clicking on it just gave me an error
Kon URI 'file:///home/wilco/Dropbox' niet openen.
Fout bij het verkrijgen van informatie over het bestand ‘/home/wilco/Dropbox’: Bestand of map bestaat niet.
In English its something like: (I'll change my locale.conf in a minute to get the orginal translation).
Couln´t resolve[or open][or path] file://home/wilco/Dropbox
Error resolving information about the file /home/wilco/Dropbox map or file doesn't exist
Things I tried:
Delete ~/.dropbox
Delete dropbox from my laptop en re-install
Relevant info
32 bits installation
XFCE desktop environment
Thunar
Thunar-dropbox and dropbox both installed via AUR
Any suggestions or somebody who struggled with the same problems?

What is the output?
I think a better way is to
find ~ -maxdepth 1 -iname "*dropbox*"

Read the comments by cedricmc https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dropbox/
That did the trick <3 .
The last time I checked the Aur-comments was in the late midday, so I missed that one. Thnx for pointing it out!!!
