I uninstall via GUI (with data removed) reboot and reinstall with GUI (and associating dropbox with computer), but it did not stopped the issue: after the next reboot I needed to re-initiate connection again as if it were a new computer.

I noticed that the Flathub application is not "verified". I tried to find official RPM from Fedora but nothing under DNF. I then downloaded the RPM from Dropbox website, but the install failed.

Why is the flatpak in Flathub not verified?

    Hey AlexVal!

    In regards to Flathub, I'm afraid you'd need to contact them and ask more info on their side since we can't officially troubleshoot it,  because it's outside our scope. 

    When you tried downloading the app using our website and the installation failed, did it give you a specific error?

    Also, have you tried installing using specifically this link?
