Dropbox on Fedora Silverblue 39

I'm testing Fedora Silverblue 39 currently, and the Dropbox experience is not great. I installed the latest version of Dropbox from Flathub, launched it and signed in without issues. But as soon ...

I agree, the experience on Fedora Silverblue or other Atomic Desktops isn't great right now. The flatpak I've tried appears to be unverified, probably maintained by Flathub itself. An official flatpak would go a long way to making this a great experience.

 

For now, it appears layering the official rpm package is the only way to install from a trusted source. This may work well for other distros, but on Atomic Desktops, the install time is long and requires a system restart.

 

Please consider publishing a verified package to Flathub or similar!

    I used the default Linux instructions on my Fedora Kinoite installation. Works fine.
