Request to retain xembed support for Linux devices.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have been a loyal Dropbox user for over 17 years, since the product was first launched. In the past, it worked seamlessly with xembed on Linux. However, I have noticed that the icon has recently migrated to AppIndicator, which has caused some inconvenience.
I would like to kindly request if it would be possible to maintain a version of Dropbox for Linux that still supports the old xembed protocol. I believe there are many Linux users who share this concern.
Thank you for considering my request.
Kind regards,
Guanqun

Hi Nancy
Thank you for your prompt response.
I am currently using Dropbox Headless on Arch Linux with DWM. The icon was previously displayed correctly in the system tray of dwmblocks with the earlier daemon version 225.4.4896, but I encountered issues after upgrading to version 226.4.5094.
I would like to inquire if it would be possible to maintain a version that supports `xembed`, allowing many Linux users to continue maximizing their use of Dropbox features.
Thank you for your assistance!
