I can't install Dropbox on Fedora 40

Hello,

I'm running Fedora 40 and cannot install Dropbox on my computer. After downloading the .rpm file from the Dropbox download page, it will run through the installation and daemon install process, give me a Dropbox icon in my apps but this will not activate anything after attempting to launch the program.

I have no antivirus, firewall is not an issue and I have only one device. 

It used to work up until a short while ago but is now completely inaccessible. I've seen all the suggested possible solutions but none of them solves the issue. Is Dropbox even worth the trouble these days? It seems not but I don't give up easily.

Fresh suggestions welcome. Thank you.

    Hi philk949, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Just to check , have you performed an advanced reinstallation of the program to see if this helps?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      Hi Jay, yes I have run the advanced install but with the same result, complete with the 'No Internet Connection' false error message.

        Do you have any proxy, VPN, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
