Hi,

the easiest way to install dropbox is to use this command as root.

dnf install dropbox

or if you downloaded .rpm file, you can use these commands, if your downloaded file is in /downloads

cd Downloads

rpm -i filename.rpm

In Mate, you will have dropbox icon on top panel as button and launcher will be under internet section. I am using it for 14 days and all is working for me.

Hello.  I thought of giving fedora 28 a try.
After installing fedora, I installed the mate desktop and mate applications.
My next step is to add dropbox.
After going to the website, the dropbox client was downloaded as a .rpm file.
When I open the .rpm it opens with engrampa archive manager.
I don’t yet know how to use engrampa archive manager.
On the dropbox site, there is a terminal command to download the 64 bit client.
Dropbox Headless Install Via Command line
cd~ && wget -O - “https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64”; | tar xzf -
To start the dropbox daemon, In terminal, I could type
~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
Nothing has been typed in terminal yet.
I think there is a missing step I should work on before typing this.
