Dropbox icon in the taskbar
Dropbox Dell Vostro 3558 Manjaro Cinnamon Dropbox PC Version 238.4.6075-1 I changed Desktop Environment Manjaro Linux operating system from KDE to Cinnamon, and the Dropbox icon doesn't appear in the taskbar. When I start Dropbox, I get this message: Dropbox requires App Indicator support to display the Dropbox icon in the taskbar. Dropbox will continue to run in the background. For full access to the taskbar icon, you need to update your environment. From the Dropbox documentation and online, I understand that the icon doesn't appear at all in Cinnamon. Is anyone using Cinnamon having the same problem? KDE doesn't have this problem. On Cinnamon, I installed AppIndicator (is that what it's called?), which is required to display the icon in the taskbar. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I can't configure the Dropbox app on Ubuntu 24.04
Hi, I am required to use Dropbox for work on an Ubuntu 24.04 system, which is apparently supported as "Ubuntu 22.10 or higher" I followed the instructions at https://www.dropbox.com/install-linux and it installed and logged me in successfully, and a Dropbox icon appeared in the top bar. It then began syncing all folders with hundreds of GB of data, it wants to copy the entire company Dropbox to my local system. Clicking the Dropbox icon does nothing, it does not respond. I am unable to stop the sync, and unable to configure Dropbox. Uninstalling Dropbox following the instructions at https://help.dropbox.com/installs/uninstall-dropbox failed to stop Dropbox actually running, now there is a zombie process that is still trying to sync hundreds of GB of data to my laptop. Why is this broken, who is responsible for testing this software? How can I repair my system?
Dropbox says my environment doesn't support tray icon on a Linux device, by it does.
In the following image you can see the dropbox system tray icon top right, with the error message below it. I am using the `i3wm` on Ubuntu with `i3status` to show the icons. To me this is a bug in the dropbox software failing to detect the presence of app indicator support correctlty, on argueabley the most common custom window manager.
