    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!

Thanks for the reply, Kay39.

If you're looking for some kind of UI for the Dropbox app, the only thing you'll find is the sync history/preferences tray window, which should open when clicking on the Dropbox icon in your system tray. 

But the app is indeed necessary for the files to sync, i.e. get uploaded to your account.

Just to confirm, are you having issues with the commands in the article on how to uninstall the app?

The instructions said to go to the App Center of installed apps, but it said that it was not installed.  I've just heard from someone else on your help team with instructions using the terminal. He asked for the results after I ran his instructions, and I have just sent them to him/her. It showed Dropbox was already installed and up to date.
