    It works now, but I am not sure why. The following are steps:

     

    * The original not-working configuration are URL: https://linux.dropbox.com/debian, suite: sid.

    * I change URL to https://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu, and suite to disco, and run `apt update` to test if the problem is in debian repository only. It works.

    * I change URL to https://linux.dropbox.com/debian, and suite to bookworm, and run `apt update` to test if the problem is in sid suite only. It works.

    * I rollback all configuration (URL: https://linux.dropbox.com/debian, suite: sid), and run `apt update`. It works.

     

    I guess maybe some broken configuration is fixed when running `apt update` with new configuration.

Hey Graeme T.1, sorry to hear about this.

 

Can you please clarify if you tried updating the app by downloading and installing the latest version from this page?

 

If you did and still get an error or you notice an issue with the desktop app not working, please let us know.

 

Thanks!

    I installed it using the download from the website, which added the entry to the sources list. It's been continually updated (automatically) without needing this line

        Hi there,

         

        I'm facing the same issue here. It seems the keyring for Dropbox is expired!? In the past I followed the instruction at this link, but now with the March update it seems to not be working anymore... Let me know whether is an issue form Dropbox side, thanks
