    Hey again miguelfp,
     
    Unfortunately the redesigned Dropbox desktop tray isn’t available on Linux. The new Dropbox desktop app is indeed currently only available on supported Windows and Mac OS. 
     
    I understand this isn’t exactly the answer you were looking for. As you’ve expressed your interest in having the new desktop app available on Linux systems too, I’ve passed your comments along to our dev team for review in future improvements.
     
    If you have any other questions, please let me know - Cheers!

      I second the app for Linux. My company is already implementing usage for the folks on Windows and Mac.
