    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'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?

I'll try to help you with that. Open your terminal and paste these commands I'll show you:

  • dpkg --list | grep dropbox

 

It shows if dropbox is installed. If not, then paste this command:

  • sudo apt install dropbox

 

And then show me what the terminal sends to you.
