What's "Drobo Dashboard"? From where did you get it? – David Foerster Nov 27 '17 at 11:55

Drobo's download page only lists the software for Mac and Windows, so seemingly there's no package available for Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution. I suggest you contact Drobo and let them know you miss a .deb
package for their software, they'll listen if they care.
In the meantime you can run “Drobo Dashboard for Windows” in a virtual machine, see e.g. How to run Windows XP inside Ubuntu.

Wine can't handle peripheral hardware except supported device classes recognised by Linux. (This isn't actual hardware support but use of system resources provided by the kernel and other subsystems like file systems, networking, X.org, ALSA, Pulseaudio, or CUPS). – David Foerster Nov 27 '17 at 11:58
