Nothing gets copied to the clipboard after clicking "Copy link" on Linux.
Application Affected
Dropbox
Device
Dell Inspiron 5482
Operating System/Browser (if using the web)
Fedora Workstation 43 running Gnome on Wayland.
Dropbox App Version (if using the app)
(241.4.4853 - found in app settings or About section)
Question or IssueThe question is about the context menu in Files. When I click on the Dropbox item in the context menu and choose "Copy link" nothing ends up in the clipboard. The only workaround I found is to go the dropbox web interface and copy the link from there.

This issue has been here for quite a while, but I never bothered to report. After quitting and restarting Dropbox, after clicking the Copy link menu item, I got a notification that the link has been copied and if I click on the notification, I new tab is opened with the link, but it still didn't populate the clipboard.

Hey entodoays - thanks for letting us know about this.
Have you tried rebooting your computer and/or quitting and relaunching the app since you first noticed this?
If you did, you can also try reinstalling.
In any case, please keep us posted!
