Re: Linux Dropbox registration still does not work

URL to link account in Linux does not work

I'm trying to install in Linux. I have the app installed but when it brings up the URL to link your account to the computer the URL is not valid. It does not work.  I can relaunch dropbox and it brings up another invalid URL.

 

There is also no options I can find other than this invalid URL to link the account and get dropbox working.

 

Where can I get a valid URL to link my computer?  How can I make this work?  Or do I need to find another service?

I upgraded Kubuntu to 23.04 from 22.04 and I'm getting now the error on Chrome Browser. My laptop still running 22.04 and has not a problem. I have only one device registered in my account.

it's still NOT solved. Opening a ticket is NO solution. A solution would be the restoration of functionality as it was all the years before last week.

Hi @Nancy,

Did you try install the application? 🤔 If so, did it start work immediately? If so, you're lucky girl! 😉 Try unlink  and relink anew (if needed multiple times); for sure will get to described situation.

Once there you can describe it (in support ticket if you want) much better. 🙋 Don't you agree?

I tried it with the support chat. That was not helpful at all. I won't waste more time on this.

Either the Dropbox programmers fix *their* error within days or we'll move on to another product.

Hi Nancy, the app sends me to the following URL to sign in: https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce=2bca48a0919daf5f2c7828b0972a4f93

 

It appears there is a problem at this address or is an invalid one.

 

Regards

Manuel
