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
Same issue after upgrading Fedora from 36 to 37.
I just checked for the first time in a few days and found that there is a new entry for installing "Fedora 37 and higher" on the downloads page for linux. I will test it later. Maybe someone has tested it by now???
Hi!
I just installed the version "Fedora 37 and higher", and it worked. Now Dropbox is working again on Fedora 37!
Just installed and working fine.
Now the Dropbox integration with Nautilus is working again. Everything is fine as before!
Seems to be resolved.
Not via dnf update, but re-install? Is the repo up to date?
DON'T forget to reboot afterwards!
For me, by downloading the installer from Dropbox website : https://www.dropbox.com/install

Good note @dpawson. 😉
As always there are some stupid moves. Absolutely meaningless a completely new package created, instead of add the new plugin in the existing package. That's why just dnf update wouldn't work - there isn't anything to update. 🤦... The repo is up to date but the package itself is... old.
Even more: only RPM is provided, what about DEB?!!!
Currently the link that points to 64 bit rpm for fedora 37 is broken: 404
Any work in progress perhaps?
Broken URL given clicking the 64bit hyperlink:
https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/fedora/nautilus-dropbox-2022.12.05-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm
I was able to download going into compiling from source and then navigating here:
https://linux.dropbox.com/packages/fedora/nautilus-dropbox-2022.12.05-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm
Hi there,
We've spoken to our team, and they've told us that they're aware of a caching issue that causes that endpoint to return invalid 404 errors. They're currently working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, retrying the link should work.
We also recommend clearing your cache before retrying, as this can assist with some common errors.
Regards,
Emmet
