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.

I understand why Dropbox effectively dropped support for GNOME 43: Fedora users are a small portion of Dropbox's customer base.
However, I need clarification on why Dropbox will not offer a pro-rated refund. I spent the past hour chatting with Apple and Dropbox customer support agents, each pointing his finger at the other. I bought an annual Dropbox subscription on my iPhone. I am past the 90-day window when Apple grants a refund, and Dropbox refuses a refund because I paid via my iPhone. The Dropbox customer support agent was as helpful as he could be but lacked the tools to grant a refund. If the number of GNOME 43 users is too small to support, then offering pro-rated refunds on annual subscriptions should be easy.
I really hope Dropbox will nto drop support for Gnome 43 - that would be dropping support for most of their linux users, I'd assume. Or doesn't Ubuntu use Gnome anymore?
Looks like current Ubuntu is on Gnome 43 too https://ubuntu.com/blog/whats-new-in-ubuntu-desktop-22-10-kinetic-kudu
