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?

    Hey timb75, let's jump right into this!

    Have you ensured that there's no antivirus, a firewall or even a VPN/proxy setting that could be causing this?

    I'd also love to know the version of our app that you're using on your end, please. If I were you, I'd make sure that the device I'm using also meets all the necessary requirements. 

    Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
