URL to link account in Linux does not work
I'm trying to install in Linux. I have the app installed but when it brings up the URL to link your account to the computer the URL is not valid. It does not work. I can relaunch dropbox and it brings up another invalid URL.
There is also no options I can find other than this invalid URL to link the account and get dropbox working.
Where can I get a valid URL to link my computer? How can I make this work? Or do I need to find another service?
Hi all,
Thanks everyone who submitted tickets (and also the ones that helped here with info).
We've implemented a fix (as you some of you already reported) however, if you're still seeing that problem, you may be running into a separate issue.
We can definitely look into it that for you if that's the case.
Thanks again!
Sam

Same problem here. I am not on basic, paying an annual fee. If my linux notebook cannot connect to dropbox, I have to do a change:
- either change to windows,
- or, change my cloud storage from dropbox to something else
Obviously we linux people will choose the second one.
Dropbox Support and Dev teams please give us a solution, or we'll find our own solutions to drop this unconnectable dropbox.
Same problem here: not on basic, paying for the 2 TB subscription, nonsense error message comes up on a new SUSE Leap installation. Dropbox was working just fine on this same hardware running Fedora 38. Something's seriously wrong with you validation server.
Same problem here. Can you Dropbox take US into account and fix it!?
Same problem.
One dropbox account signed-in at a Debian Stable laptop.
Today did an identical installation of Debian Stable on another laptop and experienced this dropbox problem
"Error
Invalid URL. Please check your client for a new one."
I am unable to link my new laptop running Ubuntu to my Dropbox account. The issue is not the number of devices - I am on a paid plan.
The error message is the following:
ErrorInvalid URL. Please check your client for a new one.I am also a paying member and cannot install dropbox in a new laptop, if not solved I will move to another file sharing app.
same problem here. Since 2 days now. You should fix that asap. We are paying quite a lot for this service.
@walter
This is not the solution and should not have marked as it.
I upgraded Kubuntu to 23.04 from 22.04 and I'm getting now the error on Chrome Browser. My laptop still running 22.04 and has not a problem. I have only one device registered in my account.
