Gnome 43 has removed
libnautilus-extension.so.1
making it impossible to install Dropbox on Fedora 37. Please update the rpm installer to make use of the changes in gnome 43.
For reference: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/t/official-dropbox-package-doesnt-install-in-fedora-37/27296
Here is a link to an open pull request to make the necessary changes: https://github.com/dropbox/nautilus-dropbox/pull/105
I really hope Dropbox will nto drop support for Gnome 43 - that would be dropping support for most of their linux users, I'd assume. Or doesn't Ubuntu use Gnome anymore?
Looks like current Ubuntu is on Gnome 43 too https://ubuntu.com/blog/whats-new-in-ubuntu-desktop-22-10-kinetic-kudu
Just a clarification,
Dropbox is working on fedora 37, the files are synching as usual, but the dropbox-nautilus is not working, so we cannot see the checkmarks on the new nautilus, but any change in the folder is reflected on the server. Actually, fedora 37 repo has the dropbox api and dropbox.noarch and it installs without issuses. I still can see the dropbox icon on my desktop and I can execute all the normal operations.

Which repository are you talking about? Official fedora repositories never had a package containing the dropbox daemon as far as I can tell.
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/search?query=dropbox&show_related=true&start=0
Rpm Fusion had a dropbox package but dropped it because of missing support for gtk4, from what it looks like https://github.com/rpmfusion/nautilus-dropbox
Do you mean dropbox-api-command? I think that's this, a CLI client: https://github.com/s-aska/dropbox-api-command.
I don't see anything in the Fedora repo that will keep a directory synced with Dropbox.
here are some screenshot with the info I am getting from dnf command.
This works quite the same for me, only I have dropbox (daemon?) installed as a flatpak. Files sync to the server but the desktop integration is not available. So the basic functionality of dropbox is there: file storage, sharing and accessing across devices work. But the UX downgraded a *lot* (and I'm using very soft words here).
Please make the app work again with Fedora (37)
