Can you support the operation of the Dropbox app on Linux in System tray on x11?

It's been a while since I've used Dropbox since it disabled normal operation in Systemtray on x11 in Linux (I use icewm). I'll be happy to reuse it but until it doesn't come back it's hard for me to reuse it again.

    Linux is supported on various OS's, so if you want a specifc on (icewm?) its probably worth requesting it is updated to include that rather than Linux as a whole.

    Hi francescoinblack​,

    Thanks for sharing your feedback.

    Unfortunately we don't accept ideas related to supportability for 3rd party products. The reason being is that this is something that would already be reviewed by our Linux team for feasibility so it is outside of the Community Idea's scope.

    Hopefully this can be supported again soon.
