When launching dropbox, I get an error saying that I need to install app-indicator for the dropbox icon to show up in the system tray, and that if I don't install it,
Dropbox will run in the background, I just won't be able to see what it's doing.
What do I need to install?
I am using Debian 13.
Thanks,
Chris
Sudo apt install appindicator might do the trick.
