Dropbox has changed some things a while ago, and its icon no longer appears in the taskbar, so I can’t interact with it.

Desde hace un tiempo dropbox cambió ciertyas cosas y ya no aparece su icono en la barra de tareas, por lo que no puedo interactuar

Thanks

Hi @danielhb ,

Not sure if this is related?

Hi @muzqs, thanks for the reply. It seems to be an issue with AppIndicator. I have libappindicator-gtk3 installed (recommended in AUR). It’s not showing up in xfce4-panel either.

Hola @muzqs , gracias por la respuesta. Aparentemente es un problema con appindicator, tengo instalado libappindicator-gtk3 (recomendado en aur). Tampoco lo muestra xfce4-panel.
