Upon upgrading to Fedora 31 the dropbox icon in the upper right no longer is available. I have to open Dropbox from Files.
I'm not sure what I did but this morning the icon has appeared when I booted up. Thanks for all the assistance. Wish I could say what I did that corrected the problem.
Seems you haven't been restarted your graphical shell, so new plugins haven't got in effect (just logout/login were enough). That's why the new plugins got in effect after restart.
Oh, I had restarted the system several times yesterday but it didn't show up until this morning. I'm just glad I have it back. Now if I can get some of my other applications to work properly with Fedora 31 I'll be happy. LOL Again, thanks for all your help. спасибо
I don't believe it. It's gone again this morning.
Hi @psummitt,
Did you install TopIcon? If not, try it. Also make sure the extensions are enabled!
Yes and yes.

I found a solid solution linked below. Basic problem, some old Gnome extensions dont work with Wayland.
Which is the window manager in gnome 3.
