    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!

Friend, as I showed on the video, if you lock your screen and return, does it open?

I don't use your desktop setup raulgrangeiro  and don't have the same issue, but in general Dropbox application (rather the daemon - the actual executable) doesn't work stable. This is not something new and often different people report different strange things appearing (sometime things disappearing). I have also issue with my Dropbox menu (no any submenu appears) and reported it multiple times - no any reaction 🤦 - Dropbox Linux application is not "first class citizen" here 🤷, unfortunately. Better don't rely that something will be changed. In your case the menu comes back at least after your trick. 😉

Have a nice day.

    That's a sad thing to hear. I didn't know this was the condition of the app.
