Hi prowlett, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

If you're still experiencing issues when installing the Dropbox desktop application on Linux, or seeing the menu bar icon, I'd recommend contacting the support team directly.

 

Keep me updated with any progress.

Hi @Jay,

 

At present, I still have a menu and all is well. It's still asking me every time I boot up to install the daemon which I already have. I have installed a third-party extension that I don't know if I need, and fundamentally I don't think it should be this much hard work to get your program running.

 

I pay a lot of money for Dropbox and many years ago I specifically choose it because it works across the different platforms I need, particularly Linux. I recommend you work to get it running more smoothly on Ubuntu. 

 

Regards,

 

Peter.
