- 6 years agoHey again miguelfp,Unfortunately the redesigned Dropbox desktop tray isn’t available on Linux. The new Dropbox desktop app is indeed currently only available on supported Windows and Mac OS.I understand this isn’t exactly the answer you were looking for. As you’ve expressed your interest in having the new desktop app available on Linux systems too, I’ve passed your comments along to our dev team for review in future improvements.If you have any other questions, please let me know - Cheers!

I've enrolled my team for early access to the "New Dropbox desktop app". Many of our users are running Linux. Are the new app features (Surface GUI?) available for Linux? I currently have v75.3.133 installed.
Thanks!

If the new version for linux doesn't come out, will it be possible to continue using the old one?
Will there be a lightweight client for folder synchronization only (like the current one, for instance)?- Daphne6 years agoDropbox StaffHey there Crivotz,You can still use the desktop app on your Linux device to sync your Dropbox content. The new interface is currently an opt-in additional feature, so there is no change to the basic functionality of the Dropbox folder syncing.Hope this helps - Cheers!

I'd like to add another vote for Linux. The biggest reason I've been a loyal Dropbox customer for years is that they have always supported Linux the same as Win/Mac.
