Cannot change settings in Dropbox for Linux (Fedora 36)
It's very frustrating to pay the full price of Dropbox every year and get less than sub-par support for the Linux community.
I am using Fedora 36, GNOME 42 and Dropbox seems to run OK.
However, I had to enable "legacy icon support", etc. to get the icon to appear in my top bar. However, the icon does nothing. When I click on it, nothing happens. It used to open a menu where I could change settings. But nothing.
I don't mind using the command line. However, I need to enable selective sync and I *REALLY* need to move the default location from my home drive to another drive.
It's beyond frustrating this basic feature is not available for Linux users.
Is there a config or something I can change to move the folder?
That's my point. There are zero options. I click that icon over and over and nothing happens. No popup menu, nothing.
UPDATE:
OK, this seems to work and makes the icon "clickable".
dropbox stop && dbus-launch dropbox startHowever, I'm not exactly sure why/how that works.

The desktop app should load the options. Could you try reinstalling the app to see if this helps show the preferences in the future?
