Unable to link dropbox desktop client in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - "Invalid URL"

[Cheezykins]

I've installed dropbox on my desktop from the .deb. On opening it, I click the drop down and firefox opens to a URL like

https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce=4217fadb61d996a55bdec9ec41eb48de

And shows the error:

I've tried all sorts, from rebooting to re-installing dropbox and wiping any remnants in my home directory, I get this every time.

How do I get this working?

Having this issue on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Fedora 38, Pop!OS, the list goes on and on.

I notice if I use the command line version of linking it gives a different link every five seconds. That doesn't seem right.

Same problem here with a fresh install of Linux Mint.

I use to install easily dropbox inlinux for the last years quite often so, PLEASE, dropbox technical service, tell us how to solve this issue. I'm a business customer.

Thanks

Hi all, thanks for bringing this to our attention! 

We're aware of an issue with the sign in flow for certain devices - and our team is in the process of implementing a fix.

Hang tight, and we'll definitely update you once we have any more updates. Thanks!

thanks for looking at this, however I've decided to switch to Mega which offers 25GB free.
