Ubuntu 24.04 - missing app tray icon menu for the desktop app
I had Dropbox running on Ubuntu 22.04 but have upgraded to 24.04 and am having trouble.
I installed `nautilus-dropbox` from Ubuntu. This worked, but the system tray icon did not have a menu whe...

Hi prowlett,
This is a very old bug existing since day zero of Dropbox. Linux users are not first class citizen here - something confirmed many times, unfortunately. This should not change anything in general. Dropbox application is so "intelligent" that cannot understand it is installed and ask for install again and again...🤦 If you follow the daemon' install, it will overwrite the files already installed - nothing more (i.e. no any change).
Your main issue is something completely different and another example showing the significant lack of Linux support. The issue is not related to application install - since working it's definitely installed. This issue is also very old though. As seems, many coding solutions in the application (and not only) are based on different suppositions/assumptions, not on coding standards! In such a way small/negligible change in configuration may make big issues in icon and associated menu displaying. Such a reactions are difficult to predict and solve (securely) since the sloppy coding (and closed source) of the application. 🤷 That's it. Better don't rely on official solution - not in near future at least (will be glad Dropbox to refute me - it's still not fact for years).
Good luck to all of us.
