Dropbox does not open on my desktop using ubuntu 22.04

I have just installed Dropbox on my Ubuntu 22.04 desktop and whilst the icon shows up in the installed software it does not start. No error messages. It runs fine if I access through my browser.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Piradose,

    Have you ever launched it once, at least? 🤔 If not, do it. Usually application starts automatically from that moment on (if not explicitly disabled), but you can make sure "Start Dropbox on system startup" is selected in Preferences (just for sure):

    Good luck.
