Dropbox app on Fedora KDE 41 stuck on "Connecting..."

I have just installed Dropbox on Fedora KDE 41 and logged in to my Dropbox account. I can put files in the Dropbox folder and they get uploaded. However, when I right click on the taskbar icon the top item in the menu is stuck on "Connecting...". There is no notifications of anything uploading or downloading so it is impossible to know if everything is working without logging into my Docker account on the web and checking. What should I be able to see in that menu instead of "Connecting..." and how do I fix it so I can keep an eye on what Dropbox is doing?

    Same Issue here. Currently i have 2 laptops:

    • one with KDE 5 that works
    • one with KDE 6 that has issue

    Btw, even if the system try still shows "Connecting", the files synch is working. It's just annoyng that i can't stop synching or open the folder, etc.. from the sys try.
