Unable to access preference menu on linux
Hello, I just wanted to move the Dropbox folder location through the preference menu but I just can't access the any menu at all.
See below :
What should I do ?

I found how to fix it. I'm on xubuntu 18.04. There is a new indicator plugin that you have to ask for the task bar. With the new indicator plugin, the dropbox icon works, but not with the default indicator plugin.
- SanchezDropbox StaffHey Unic0, welcome to our forum!What Linux distribution are you running?Ordinarily, in this case, I would uninstall and reinstall, using an offline version of our app.I would also make sure that you use a current stable version of our app. Betas sometimes have these little quirks.Let me know when you can.Thanks!

Hi ! Thank you for your quick answer, I am running on linux ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I am currently on a workstation and I don't have all the access, but I can still install the application via terminal command. But again after reinstallation, same probleme. I have been installing the current stable version 12.10.1

Same problem here on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. There is definitely something wrong with the plugin. Please fix it.
