Fedora/Linux tray icon submenu

Hi I clearly remember years ago that the tray icons had many options. Now not anymore: Sorry, I know, it's Italian but I guess you can understand it as well.. For ex. it always says "conness...

Hey there neuromante, I hope you're well today!

 

It looks like the app is having trouble connecting to the server, which is why there are no other sub menu options.

 

Can you let me know if you have any trouble accessing the Dropbox website at all, through your preferred web browser?

 

Are you using a proxy or have a firewall running on your device?

 

Looking forward to hearing back from you!

    Hello Dima, neuromante,

    Yes, I agree, there isn't something suspicious. Seems like some strange behaviour 🤷; Not something new for Dropbox application for linux 😠, unfortunately. The last years, the only new "features" are bugs and restrictions! Communication to the system tray isn't a plus for Dropbox, generally. If I have to bet, the root bug for the issue discussed here and "under kde it's a graphical mess", as neuromante said, is the same. Just bad implementation of communication protocol. Would be fine if the application' developers get on this at hands, but I'm skeptical rather. Linux support is a last priority. If somebody is patient enough and have some time to trace what's wrong with Dropbox application calls to the functions exported from libappindicator3.so.1, ok - Dima like you did for FS related restrictions 😉🙂. I can't say anything more.

    Let hope developers will change the priorities (little bit, at least).

      Thank You, much appreciated. There must be something about flags compilations used by fedora imho, but it's just my guess.
