No repository for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa
I was checking linux.dropbox.com but was unable to find a repository for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa. Now that 20.04 is released as LTS, will this repo be added soon?
Hi rjk, thanks for posting today!
Currently I don’t have any update on this matter, however, I’ll forward this to our dev team for their awareness.
If there’s anything else I can assist with, please let me know!

I know that this has been asked before but it was quite a while ago and nothing seems to have changed.
Focal Fossa is an LTS version and has now been out for a year but there is still no repository for it. This most recent repository is Disco but this version passed end of life some months ago.
When will a focal repository be made available?
Thanks

As described here
https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/linux-commands
adding a repository for Ubuntu 20.04/focal fails:
The repository 'https://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.The reason is simply that in https://linux.dropboxstatic.com/ubuntu/dists/
ubuntu focal 20.04 / is not listed.
Also adding the the key fails/hangs.
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1C61A2656FB57B7E4DE0F4C1FC918B335044912E

I hope an engineer reads this and fixes this (trivial to solve) problem.
thanks
