199 TopicsI can't access my Dropbox files on an NTFS drive from Linux after the latest update.
My files are arranged like this: Drive 1: Windows Drive 2: Linux Drive 3 (NTFS): Dropbox files After the latest Dropbox updated itself to the latest version on Windows, the Dropbox folder is now apparently a link instead. Is there a setting where I can revert this back to a normal folder?Solved110Views0likes5CommentsDropbox says my environment doesn't support tray icon, 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.2.1KViews2likes28CommentsThe indicator tray Dropbox icon/menu has gone AWOL on my Linux Mint.
Dropbox on Linuxmint MATE Desktop Environment. In a previous post (https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101001016/upgrade-to-dropbox-on-linuxmint-mate-desktop-killed-bluetooth/833753) I followed the instructions re ' To install Ayatana Indicators for Linux Mint (MATE)' and also 'To install LibAppIndicator on Linux'. The result was an incompatibility with Bluetooth (blueman). Dropbox is functioning properly in that it stores what I want BUT in recent weeks the icon/menu has disappeared from the Indicator tray has gone AWOL from my Indicator tray. Why would it go missing when I've done what was needed to cope with Dropbox's new way of doing things (at the expense of Bluetooth)? This is a bit of a pain. How do I get Dropbox back on my indicator tray?Solved95Views0likes7CommentsCan I use the Dropbox desktop app on Linux without AppIndicator?
I'm using dropbox desktop on archlinux without desktop environment. I'm using a window manager directly (in specific, awesomeWM). Recently when I start the dropbox desktop, it has a popup message saying I new version of dropbox will not work without AppIndicator, and it said my current environment doesn't support it. And I will not work after May 27. In fact I've already installed libappindicator-gtk2 and libappindicator-gtk3. I've two questions: How can I make it detect and use the installed AppIndicator? Can I stay with the current version of desktop desktop, even after May 27?711Views0likes15CommentsRequest to retain xembed support for Linux devices.
Dear Sir or Madam, I have been a loyal Dropbox user for over 17 years, since the product was first launched. In the past, it worked seamlessly with xembed on Linux. However, I have noticed that the icon has recently migrated to AppIndicator, which has caused some inconvenience. I would like to kindly request if it would be possible to maintain a version of Dropbox for Linux that still supports the old xembed protocol. I believe there are many Linux users who share this concern. Thank you for considering my request. Kind regards, Guanqun47Views0likes3CommentsDropbox needs to update the required Fedora repository.
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. This is just a heads up that Fedora Linux was updated earlier this week to 42 and so the Dropbox Fedora repository is now producing error messages as it's still pointing to 41. The repository is at https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora.1.2KViews7likes35CommentsOpenPGP signature verification failed with Debian Trixie.

Hello, every now and then I receive an alert saying that my desktop environment doesn't support the tray icon, but I swear that it does and that it works perfectly. How can I make this alert to stop opening? Thanks gattaccia25Views0likes1CommentUpgrade to Dropbox on Linuxmint MATE desktop killed Bluetooth
I followed the instructions re ' To install Ayatana Indicators for Linux Mint (MATE)' and also 'To install LibAppIndicator on Linux' and everything seemed OK. Later I tried to use Bluetooth but found that it had been uninstalled. An attempt to re-install Bluetooth (blueman) indicated that such action would remove libappindicator-gtk3! * To be removed libappindicator3-1 * To be installed gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 libayatana-appindicator3-1 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth It sees that I can have bluetooth or Dropbox but not both. That seems wrong to me. Is there some sort of fix for this?133Views0likes5Comments
