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....)

Hi Beatboxer​,

Just a heads up, we had to spam your other thread as it's about the same issue and our Community Guidelines state that you should only have one post per issue.

If you could get back to me on my last comment, I''ll continue to assist.

I thought the other thread was about my difficulties installing the dropbox plugin for nemo, which seems a different issue, not a second post on the issue in this thread.

Is that any chance to resurrect that thread? I had included a lot of detail about what didn't work that I can't reproduce.
