Dropbox needs to update the required Fedora repository.
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. This is just a heads up that Fedora Linux was updated earlier this week to 42 and so the Dropbox Fedora repository is now producing error messages as it's still pointing to 41. The repository is at https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora.

Still not resolved, still broken. Why does dropbox hate linux?

Hey catlover, sorry to see you're having this issue.
Can you give us some more info on your case?
What is your exact setup and OS info and which version of the Dropbox app are you currently using?
Any additional info you think will be helpful, please share it with us as well.
I also have fedora 42, latest updates. I installed the gnome extension but the icon just shows "..." and cannot be interacted with. If i load MS teams the tray shows an icon for that app so i believe the extension is working.
I thing i noticed is that teams shows up in the list of apps with "notifications"
I don't know whether you've noticed but the Fedora repo has now been updated (https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/). I've edited /etc/yum.repos.d/dropbox.repo and changed the line to
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/$releasever/
and
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/42/
and tried to update the system, but it doesn't update for either option. I'd be very grateful if you have any suggestions.
My suggestion is to delete the line that ends in "42" and keep the "$releasever" line, since "$releasever" is a place-holder for the version of Fedora that you are using.
