I can also confirm that Dropbox doesn't open the GUI on Fedora 40 with Wayland. It syncs the files correctly, but the major problem is that I can't control all Dropbox settings through the command line as I could with the graphical app. Moreover, I don't know if all end users would like to use commands.

 

All dependencies are installed by default.

Need more support?
