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.

The app is working currently. The error appears when the update process tries to query the repo for information. I'd rather not uninstall it right now because as you can see, I don't have a way to get the app again.

Does the issue persist after reinstalling the app nathanieloffer?

Hi, I'm running Fedora 42
6.14.6-300.fc42.x86_64
Dropbox version v224.4.4811
There's no point providing a screenshot because the text log I posted came directly from the terminal DNF output during an update so there's nothing else to be seen.

Hi there nathanieloffer - thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you please clarify your device's exact OS version and the version of the Dropbox desktop app that's giving you this error?
Any additional information or screenshots are more than welcome!

Yesterday 3v1n0 released version 60 of AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support. After booting up my system today and executing "sudo dnf upgrade" and restarting everything works perfectly. So I was just a little bit too early to complain, sorry.

Hello Timaojaowejr
Is it possible you may be using a browser that doesn't have the GNOME Shell integration extension installed? It can be a bit confusing, but essentially, you first need to install a browser extension, which then allows the website to communicate with your system and install GNOME Shell extensions directly.
When you have the browser extension installed, you would be able to then toggle the extension to 'ON' and get the prompt to install the GNOME extension for app indicator - Timaojaowejr7 months agoExplorer | Level 4
Thank you for your response. The thread you suggested also came up in my search for a solution but sadly didn't resolve my issue. I tried reinstalling the dropbox package without uninstalling as suggested.
For everything else I don't see how it applies to my situation specifically since I use the newest fedora and not ubuntu.
