Unable to access preference menu on linux
Hello, I just wanted to move the Dropbox folder location through the preference menu but I just can't access the any menu at all.

What should I do ?

I found how to fix it. I'm on xubuntu 18.04. There is a new indicator plugin that you have to ask for the task bar. With the new indicator plugin, the dropbox icon works, but not with the default indicator plugin.

Same problem here on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. There is definitely something wrong with the plugin. Please fix it.

So can you tell us what plugin? How to find/install it?
I cannot see why this is marked solved. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04, with gnome-flashback. I cannot run Dropbox as it will totally fill my home dir, and I cannot access dropbox pref. Please tell me how to move the Dropbox folder from the command line (then I can at least start using it).
I was able to solve the problem by following the instructions here:
Hello,
I stumbled across this because of issues running dropbox on elementary os.
I did the recommendation above to run the headless version of dropbox - and it looks like it installed!
My question now tho is how do I access the preferences with this installation. I would like to change the folder in which Dropbox syncs. (change from the default /home/Dropbox)
Cheers,
