Do I have to reinstall Dropbox every time I do a software update on my Linux Fedora 42?
I'm running Dropbox on Fedora 42 (Linux). Each time I do a software update for the computer, this warning shows when I log in:
Do I really have to reinstall Dropbox each time? This is confusing...
Dropbox is running fine now. I think the answer (or workable workaround) is to click OK on the prompt that comes up (see image at top of thread) or run 'dropbox start -i'.
(I got an email notification that AugustusHarbor posted a useful comment two days ago, but for some reason it's not showing here in the thread....)

Hey Beatboxerâ, happy Friday!
Happy to see that your issue is now resolved! In any case, keep an eye on it, and let us know if anything changes.
In regards to the "AugustusHarbor" comment, I searched for the username but couldn't find any active users on our Community with that username.
Lastly, you mentioned a different thread. The only other thread of yours that I could find is this one, which is an older one and the issue has been resolved. Is this not the case? Is it possible that you're talking about a different one?
I'm referring to the post that Neal Mc said went into spam "as it was about the same issue."
Here's the page I see when I click the link in the "augustus" email I mentioned. The subject line of the email is different than usual: "Subscription Update on The Dropbox Community"
I don't think there any issue, but it is curious.
Thanks to the team for all their support.

Hi Beatboxerâ,
I think there's a bit of confusion here (I know I got turned around a good bit trying to figure this out đ ).
So that user replied on this thread but that comment was removed as it was spam. If you look at the end of their comment, they try to post a link for custom home solutions which goes against our community guidelines.In regards to your post that was marked as a duplicate, what I can do is just paste the info you shared here on this thread:

Please describe the problem, in detail. Include what you expected to happen vs. what is happening. Please include any relevant screenshots, error messages or ticket numbers.I'm having trouble figuring out how to install dropbox-nemo. I find what look like downloadable RPMs online, but when I click them, nothing downloads. I've tried using the RPM Fusion repository, but that gives this result:
