    Maybe I need todo more testing but it seems with the latest version of

    "appindicator and KStatusNotifierItem support" extension, it fixes the problem.

    Reverting back to "ubuntu Appindicators" extension and the problems is back there.

     

    So disable ubuntu appindicators and install the following extension
    https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/

When I click the 3 dots I see the regular dropbox menu.
Dropbox version: 156.4.4908

Hey redman5087, sorry to jump in, but I just wanted to mention that there's a more recent version of the desktop app which just came out.

 

Could you give it a go from this page and let us know how it goes?
