    Maybe I need todo more testing but it seems with the latest version of

    "appindicator and KStatusNotifierItem support" extension, it fixes the problem.

    Reverting back to "ubuntu Appindicators" extension and the problems is back there.

     

    So disable ubuntu appindicators and install the following extension

Hi redman5087, could you try reinstalling the Dropbox desktop application to see if this helps?

      Hi redman5087, thanks for the nudge on this!

       

      Can you try uninstalling the version from Ubuntu software center and install the deb from our website instead?

       

      Let us know if this helps!

        Hi Walter , I never installed it from the ubuntu repository or software center
        I downloaded the deb always from the dropbox website....
