Can't install Dropbox on Ubuntu 20.04 in 2021

Can't install Dropbox on Ubuntu 20.04 in 2021

Hi!

 

Dropbox install on Ubuntu 20.04 does not work:

  1. I download & run any .deb file from https://www.dropbox.com/install
  2. It opens "Ubuntu Software" app (used to install all apps) and shows an error message: "Failed to install file: not supported"

It should work, it's has been quite a while since 20.04 release...

 

 

P.S.: There is an old topic "Unable to install Dropbox on Ubuntu 20.04", that does not help.

I also have the same problem in Ubuntu. The supposed deb package does not work. If you try also to install in the version from the software installer of ubuntu, it saids that you have not all dependencies. I compiled the version and it runs but never refresh uploaded files. I tried in many machines and is the same, so it seems to be a problem of Ubuntu after 2020. I have been waiting months for a soultion but I think that eventually I will stop using dropbox.

Need more support?
