Re: I can't locate the Dropbox folder on my Linux device.

OS Ubuntu 24.04  (New installation  3 days ago)

 

I don't understand the "menu bar/system tray"  request.  If it is in Ubuntu I do not see it.  The best I can do is  this from the finder or whatever Ubuntu calls it.

 

An apt list --installed  tells me I have 

dropbox/noble,now 2024.04.17 amd64 [installed]

installed.

 

Thanks.

    Aha, I still have no where my first post went but I solved the "dropbox folder" problem.   I was misreading a Dropbox warning message about the number of devices I had connected. Apparently I had too many devices connected—old computers—and once I dropped a couple my desktop folder appeared.

    You said it appeared in your email. Did you click the link to take you to the post? Like Walter mentioned, the only posts I see for you are the ones in this topic.

     Did you click the link to take you to the post?

    Yes.  It, also, appears in my profile.

     

    As you and Walter say, I only see the one post.  Is there any way I could have deleted that post without leaving any trace.

    Hey jrkrideau, let me also jump in here! 

     

    That could be possible. As for your Dropbox folder: what happens if you click the Dropbox icon on your desktop? 

     

    Does it re-direct you to your Dropbox folder by any chance? Have you tried uninstalling and then re-installing the app?
