Dropbox doesn't leave "Connecting..." state

rated 0 times [ 8] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 41475 / 2 Years ago, sat, september 10, 2022, 11:47:20

After installing Dropbox in 12.10 it doesn't connect properly. All files get synced without any problems, but in the drop down menu (icon in the top bar) it keeps showing "Connecting" for 3 days now... In 12.04 it shows account stats etc..

Any way to solve this?

I dont know if there is any way to actually solve this right now, but I have the same problem. You could help about with clicking on the "this bug affects me too".

For a little workaround you can check the status of your dropbox by using this from the terminal:
