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. 

     

    Regards,

     

    Emmet

Hi sudoluke, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Would it be OK if we reach out via email to have a further look internally?

 

Thanks so much!
