No repository for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa

I was checking linux.dropbox.com but was unable to find a repository for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa. Now that 20.04 is released as LTS, will this repo be added soon?

    As described here

    https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/linux-commands

    adding a repository for Ubuntu 20.04/focal fails:

     

    The repository 'https://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.
    N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
    N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

     

    The reason is simply that in https://linux.dropboxstatic.com/ubuntu/dists/

    ubuntu focal 20.04 / is not listed.

     

    Also adding the the key fails/hangs.

     

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

    Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.vG9InKLJM5/gpg.1.sh --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

     

    I hope an engineer reads this and fixes this (trivial to solve) problem.

     

    thanks

    I know that this has been asked before but it was quite a while ago and nothing seems to have changed.

    Focal Fossa is an LTS version and has now been out for a year but there is still no repository for it. This most recent repository is Disco but this version passed end of life some months ago.

    When will a focal repository be made available?

     

    Thanks
