Hi there beaniew - sorry to hear about this.

 

Have you ensured that your device meets the minimum requirements as outlined here? If this persists after rebooting your computer, could you reinstall the app and let us know how it goes?

 

Thanks!

    Hi Walter,

     

    I've reinstalled and restarted as suggested, here's the error logs that comes up when running "dropbox start" :

    The software seems to work, just not the App indicator in Ubuntu 23.10.

     

    Possibly a dependency issue here perhaps??
