I found a solution:
The following assume you are in /etc/apt/keyrings/ (ie, cd /etc/apt/keyrings)Get the current Dropbox keyring:
sudo curl -s linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc | sudo tee dropbox-current.asc
Convert to .gpg:
sudo gpg --dearmor dropbox-current.asc
This leaves dropbox-current.gpg in /etc/apt/keyringsUpdate /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dropbox.sources to ensure it includes the following line:
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/dropbox-current.gpg(The entire dropbox.sources file:
Types: deb
URIs: http://linux.dropbox.com/debian/
Suites: trixie
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/dropbox-current.gpg)

I am having the same issue with Debian forky:
W: Failed to fetch http://linux.dropbox.com/debian/dists/trixie/InRelease: Sub-process /usr/bin/sqv returned an error code (1), error message is: Signing key on 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E is not bound: No binding signature at time 2026-01-08T18:18:04Z because: Policy rejected non-revocation signature (PositiveCertification) requiring second pre-image resistance because: SHA1 is not considered secure since 2026-02-01T00:00:00Z
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead
Using SHA1 for the signing key is no longer allowed for Debian. I will not be the only person with this issue!
