I cannot install the desktop app on Linux Fedora 37
Gnome 43 has removed
libnautilus-extension.so.1
making it impossible to install Dropbox on Fedora 37. Please update the rpm installer to make use of the changes in gnome 43.
For reference: ...
Hi there,
We've spoken to our team, and they've told us that they're aware of a caching issue that causes that endpoint to return invalid 404 errors. They're currently working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, retrying the link should work.
We also recommend clearing your cache before retrying, as this can assist with some common errors.

Dropbox is arguably one of the best solutions for remote file storage.
I know there are some challenges with Linux from the standpoint of trying to provide support to the innumerable number of distributions out there, I get it...
But;
Maybe Dropbox could work more closely with the folks at Ubuntu & Fedora to maintain support those distributions at least, they happen to be the two distributions Dropbox provides download links, but the app doesn't work.
Fedora & Ubuntu use gnome, gnome uses Nautilus; Dropbox provided support for Nautilus, but now that is no longer the case so the installation fails by not being able to resolve dependencies. As of now, there is no solution or workaround, and I will not buy a Mac or install Windows just to get Dropbox to work, I will sadly migrate to an alternate supported solution..
This day and age I think this could be better managed. The Linux users our there are growing in number, I myself abandoned Microsoft years ago and never cared for Apple inc., and I know I'm not alone.
Hope this fosters some thought on the development side at Dropbox, and Thanks for listening....
