Ubuntu 22.04 Dropbox Trayicon changes to 3 dots

[redman5087]

Ubuntu 22.04 clean install...
At start the dropbox trayicon is displaying correctly.
After a lockscreen and returning to the desktop the trayicon changes to 3 dots.

from the terminal: dropbox status: up to date

Hi @redman5087, let's look into this! 

So, when you click on the three dots, what do you see there? Can you also let me know which version of the app you've installed on your device? 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

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?

[redman5087]

Dropbox version 157.4.4801 does NOT fix the problem...
Thanks anyway for both of you trying to help.

Hope this gets fixed soon

Hi @redman5087, could you try reinstalling the Dropbox desktop application to see if this helps?

[redman5087]

Reinstalling the dropbox application didn't helped.
Same problem.

Several users are complaining about this...

Any news on the problem?

Hi @redman5087, thanks for the nudge on this!

Can you try uninstalling the version from Ubuntu software center and install the deb from our website instead?

Let us know if this helps!

[redman5087]

Hi @Walter , I never installed it from the ubuntu repository or software center
I downloaded the deb always from the dropbox website....
