The package is retired.
Comment 2 Davide Repetto 2022-11-30 17:43:58 CET 
Do you know if it was retired because of a missing a maintainer/sponsor or because it was non-functional?

Also dropbox itself; not the caja plugin, is it retired too?
For the same motive?

It's missing a maintainer and the dropbox  dependency.

nautilus-dropbox was retired due to being non-functional and no maintainer.
Comment 4 Davide Repetto 2022-12-01 09:09:29 CET 
So a maintainer is missing for all three:

- the dropbox  dependency
- caja-dropbox
- nautilus-dropbox

And nautilus-dropbox is also not functioning.

I'm thinking aloud here. I'll look into the process and if I can grok it, I may try and put in a review request and see what happens... Perhaps with some help from the former maintainer, if still reachable and willing to help pass the torch...

Thanks for all the kind answers Leigh.
