There isn't a Linux repository for Fedora 32
Hello everyone.
An RPM repo for Fedora 32 hasn't been created yet, which leads to errors every time I use my package manager.
Is Dropbox aware of this problem?

It seems that finally they updated the repository for Fedora 32. https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/32/ its working now.
Thanks

As of moment 32 is not yet available from the URL repository https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/
Instead use 31 and try these two steps.
1. gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/dropbox.repo
2. Change $releaserver to 31, save it and run dnf update

The temporary 'solution' to eliminate the error message by editing your /etc/yum.repos.d/dropbox.repo file has been recommended 3 times. No need to add it again. :-)
