That is a problem with rclone, please ask over at https://forum.rclone.org/ .
As a passing comment, Ubuntu 18.04 is no longer supported unless you’ve bought extended support for it.
Before attempting to mount again, make sure that any existing FUSE mount points are properly unmounted. You can use the umount.
umount /media/dropbox1
After ensuring that the mount point is properly unmounted, try the rclone mount command again:
rclone mount --allow-other --allow-non-empty -v dropbox1: /media/dropbox1
If the problem persists, carefully review any error messages that appear when trying to mount. These messages might provide more specific details about what’s going wrong.
