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

edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/dropbox.repo like below and you can continue forward as a workaround.

These are workaround to dropbox not creating a symbolic link. Maybe Dropbox can't handle the additional storage space.

There is really no point in talking to dropbox. I have complained here, and I have conducted customer support. The reply is monotonously the same (no answer). Also technical support wants linux users to use an older repository (putting something stale in their operating system).
I refuse to do this. So I removed completely the dropbox repository from all my Fedora Linux computers. Their Linux support is very bad anyway. Without updates, when dropbox will stop working, I will stop paying.
As simple as that...

Hold on everybody. We're living during a global pandemic--we don't know what is going on internal to the company that could be slowing down the normal process for support. They probably had turnover and the new staff don't know exactly what the old staff were doing for us.
