Dropbox desktop app Linux Ubuntu failed to install.

Hi,

I just received an email about the new desktop app so I downloaded it and tried to install it but the install fails with an error on libglib2.

My system is a new install of Ubuntu Mate 24.04 with version 2.80.0-6ubuntu3.1 of glib2 which is >= 2.40

Hi,

I just tried

and it is working.
Thanks, Colin

Hey @colinhercus, welcome to our Community!

Give me some time to check in with our Team about this, and I'll get back with more info, thanks!

Any news?

Hey @Jarno S. - can you clarify if your device is meeting the requirements as outlined in this page?

If it does, can you try the offline installer from this page and let me know how it goes?

Did you get the chance to try out Walter’s suggestion, @Jarno S.?

Let us know, if there’s been any progress with the issue you were having.
