From GNOME Shell Extensions install TopIcons Plus.

sudo subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
sudo dnf upgrade
sudo dnf install nautilus-devel python3-docutils

cd Downloads/nautilus-dropbox-2020.03.04
sudo ./configure && make
sudo make install

Open Dropbox from the app list by clicking on its icon and follow the instructions about installing the daemon.

If an error about signature is given, reboot the computer and click again on Dropbox from the app list (now it should go through)

Run the following command (no sudo is needed)

dropbox start -i

Sometimes the following commands needs to be run (Dropbox will ask for it)

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p

Then

dropbox autostart y
