Dropbox Client for Linux on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS- icon not clickable.
Guys, I've noticed a bug on Dropbox Client on Ubuntu 23.10 and the same occurs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS after a installed it from scratch on my machine. It's really a bug on the app on desktop.

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: 2024.04.17God bless you all!
I've tried suspending and reopening, but the Dropbox icon does nothing. I'm not even sure if it's installed, though the icon is on my app tray. Trying to install though the App Center shows "unmet dependency". I've tried repeatedly to manually install. I have Ubuntu 24.04. How do I check installation or uninstall on terminal? (I generally only use terminal when I copy and paste instructions.) How necessary is the app? Can I not just copy folders to the Dropbox folder?

Dropbox Community ModeratorWhen I go to the App Center, it doesn't show Dropbox as an installed app, so I can't uninstall there. But when I try to install Dropbox, it says "looks like it's already installed". When I go to the "Show Apps", it shows the Dropbox icon, which won't open. If it doesn't show in the App Center, how else can I uninstall it? (This may be more of an Ubuntu question.)
When I go to Files, Dropbox and all the folders within it show green checks, as though they are syncing. Maybe that's not what the green checks mean? At one point I asked how to sync folders and was told that everything within the Dropbox folder automatically syncs. Is that not so?
I had Dropbox years ago (when I used Windows) and I don't think there was an app. However, all I did was move or import files to the Dropbox folder for them to be saved - but maybe they weren't synced.

Thanks for the update!
The Dropbox app is basically what creates the Dropbox folder, and it's necessary for the files to get synced; without the app, the Dropbox folder is just a normal folder on your computer.
Can you check the steps in this article, to see if they help you uninstall it?
Nothing happens when I click, right or left, the icon. As I said before , the icon does nothing.
