Ubuntu 23.10 - No menu
Ubuntu there's no menu for Dropbox, when I right click the App indicator in the top bar (see image) › dropbox version Dropbox daemon version: 195.4.4995 Dropbox command-line interface...
It does appear that one needs to have the AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support gnome extension installed for the Dropbox menu to work.
However the menu no longer works after Powering Off or doing a Restart. However other forums state that the menu is restored after locking the screen by pressing "Windows+L" or "Super+L" and then unlocking the screen again. This has worked for me.
see 2304_dropbox_icon_is_not_clickable & nautilus-dropbox/+bug/2015620
It seems that Dropbox does not play well with some gnome extensions such as Dash to Panel. However the aforementioned Lock screen trick works with Dash to Panel enabled.

I attempted to delay the autostart of Dropbox, but unfortunately that did not work for me. Some other options for delaying autostart may be found here delay-startup-application-ubuntu
Oh, one thing there — you wouldn't want to delay the autostart of dropbox, you'd actually want to ACCELERATE it. Delaying it is going in the wrong direction.
If the Dropbox daemon starts before the "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" extension is initialized, then there are no issues with its menu; effectively, the extension's initial startup is equivalent to restarting it after the daemon.
The menu problem only comes up when the extension is started FIRST. (As it normally will be, when Dropbox is being started by $HOME/.config/autostart/dropbox.desktop, since the Shell and its extensions get initialized well before anything starts processing autostart files.)
