    Guys, I've noticed the bug is gone here on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS o Gnome 46 and Wayland. I just started my notebook and the icon worked flawlessly. If I encounter another bug I'll relate it here.

    This is the version where it started to work:

    raulgrangeiro@RAUL-PC-2:~$ dropbox version
    Dropbox daemon version: 212.4.5767
    Dropbox command-line interface version: 2024.04.17

    God bless you all!

I don't know if it's a stable solution (will it survive a reboot??), but a recommendation in this thread https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2498274 worked for me (after fixing a typo).

sudo apt --reinstall nautilus-dropbox

worked perfectly.

That didn't solve for me, the command reports I have mismatched dependencies and this action breakes nautilus-dropbox, so the reinstalation doesn't continues.

    Hi raulgrangeiro,

    You don't have any issue with your 'dropbox' package, so don't even try to fix it; there is nothing to fix. Everything in the package is working, as seems. What doesn't work is the Dropbox daemon - something that is NOT part of any package! So any package reinstall is meaningless (or unlikely to solve something at least).

    Hope this sheds a little light on the matter.
