I had the same error with the Dropbox menu disappearing. In fact, the icon itself entirely disappeared at first! dnf update on Fedora 43 was not working because nautilus-dropbox would refuse to update, always saying 404.

Sure enough, those mirrors are all invalid. Instead, I managed to download the RPM instead from
https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/fedora/ . Once I did, and installed that RPM, the Dropbox icon came back and the daemon started working again.
However, I, too, no longer have the menu pop up. I used to.

Indeed, I've also tried that route, and noticed that there is NO dedicated link for Fedora 43. The last one refers to Fedora 42 (nautilus-dropbox-2025.05.20-1.fc42.x86_64.rpm)
