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: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/official-dropbox-package-doesnt-install-in-fedora-37/27296
Here is a link to an open pull request to make the necessary changes: https://github.com/dropbox/nautilus-dropbox/pull/105
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

- Hi, I've got exactly the same issue as the users above. Dropbox stopped working in Fedora 37.

Can you let me know more in regards to your issue?...
Megan, can you let yendrrek know how you have installed Dropbox application through official Dropbox repository on a fresh Fedora 37? 😉 Step by step walkthrough would be much more clear! By the way... did you do it actually? 🧐🤔 If no, try it and let us know how it goes. 🙂 Please!
For those out of the loop, the fix by coreyberla (thanks a lot!) was merged by a Dropbox dev a couple of days ago and a new release is supposed to be coming soon.

If you add
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
reboot
to your repos, there is a flatpack that will restore functionality until the Dropbox fix.
Commands are from Debugpoint.com article.
The dnf output is for Fedora 35.
The complaint is about Fedora 37.
That's great to hear!

Hey everyone, happy Monday!
Thank you for alerting us to this problem. Dropbox engineers are aware of the problem and are working on a solution.
We don't have a date at this moment in time, but it should be rolled out soon. Thanks for your understanding.
My specific problem.
F37 desktop machine.
F37 laptop.
Dropbox does *not* sync between the two machines. Both up to date.
Nautilus pretties help, but basic syncing is essential, i.e. what we are paying for.
Please fix.
