    Guys, I've noticed the bug is gone here on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS o Gnome 46 and Wayland. I just started my notebook and the icon worked flawlessly. If I encounter another bug I'll relate it here.

    This is the version where it started to work:

    raulgrangeiro@RAUL-PC-2:~$ dropbox version
    Dropbox daemon version: 212.4.5767
    Dropbox command-line interface version: 2024.04.17

    God bless you all!

Hey raulgrangeiro, welcome to our Community! 

 

Thanks for the video, and all the added info. When did this start happening on your end? 

 

Do you notice the same behavior on both of your devices I'm assuming, right? 

 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
