I cannot install the desktop app on Linux Fedora 37

Gnome 43 has removed libnautilus-extension.so.1 making it impossible to install Dropbox on Fedora 37. Please update the rpm installer to make use of the changes in gnome 43.   For reference: ...

    Hi there, 

     

    We've spoken to our team, and they've told us that they're aware of a caching issue that causes that endpoint to return invalid 404 errors. They're currently working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, retrying the link should work. 

     

    We also recommend clearing your cache before retrying, as this can assist with some common errors. 

     

    Regards,

     

    Emmet

Just a clarification,

 

Dropbox is working on fedora 37, the files are synching as usual, but the dropbox-nautilus is not working, so we cannot see the checkmarks on the new nautilus, but any change in the folder is reflected on the server. Actually, fedora 37 repo has the dropbox api and dropbox.noarch and it installs without issuses. I still can see the dropbox icon on my desktop and I can execute all the normal operations.

This works quite the same for me, only I have dropbox (daemon?) installed as a flatpak. Files sync to the server but the desktop integration is not available. So the basic functionality of dropbox is there: file storage, sharing and accessing across devices work. But the UX downgraded a *lot* (and I'm using very soft words here).

    jjadigo, can you post the output of `dnf info dropbox.noarch` ?

        So does it show on Nautilus?

        That's what is missing with FC 37
