Apps and Installations

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.

I have an Ubuntu machine and I tried both application install and dropboxd and they both produced similar links

https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce=a8252224ab52a0c48827be55385937c6
And they both are showing the same error.
Thanks

The same problem on one of my laptops.
All of them are the same config (running Arch) and only one have this problem.

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.
