Step 1. Get the Ubuntu Dropbox installer.
Navigate to Dropbox's Linux software download site at https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux. We want to get the "Ubuntu 14.04 or higher (.deb) 64-bit" Installer (.deb) file. As of this writing the version is 20.03.04.
Step 2: Run the Dropbox Installer
Once your .deb file has downloaded, navigate to the folder where it was stored and Right Click on the dropbox_2020.03.04_amd64.deb file (or whatever your .deb file was called) and select OPEN WITH ---> SOFTWARE INSTALLER from the right click menu. This launchs the Ubuntu Software Installer and begin installing the Dropbox Installer. It will ask for your Ubuntu password just like all other software you install on Ubuntu.

Step 3: Run Dropbox Installation
Once the Dropbox Installer finishes installing you will find an icon for it in your applications menu called DROPBOX. Click on it's icon to launch it. Once it starts it will ask for your Dropbox user name and password. After you enter them, Dropbox will send you a code to finish the process (mine was sent to my email address).

NOTE: Dropbox has a three devices linked limit I think. If you have this problem (more than 3 devices attached to your account), just go to Dropbox's website, log onto your account and mange your linked devices dropping devices that no longer need access.
You are Done.
You should now see the Dropbox icon in the system tray area of your Ubuntu 22.04 system. If you clicking on it you can manage your Dropbox Account and syncing settings. In addition you'll find a Dropbox folder in your Home Directory and any files you copy into this fold will get synced to your online Dropbox.
