Opening settings on Linux
I just installed dropbox on Ubuntu GNOME and according to the System Monitor (or htop) it is running. However, I cannot access any settings etc.
Is there a way to open the settings? E.g. from the terminal?
- In that case, you may want to use the commands for the headless installation as outlined here, Christoph.
Let me know if that helps!

Hi Jay,
thanks a lot for your response! Yesterday I could not see anything Dropbox related except in the system monitor.
However, today I forcefully terminated Dropbox in the System Monitor and restarted it. Through this I managed to sign into my Dropbox account and a new Dropbox folder appeared which is now syncing. However, I cannot interact with the folder or access the Dropbox settings in any other way.
I do not see a Dropbox symbol or application anywhere, though I am not quite sure what you mean by "menu bar". If you mean the taskbar, then no, I cannot see Dropbox there.
Best,
Christoph

Do you have the TopIcons extension installed on your machine as well? This would enable the tray icon normally.
