Dropbox Special Window Doesn't Appear?
There is a special type of window that can be summoned by right clicking on the dropbox icon in the taskbar, and clicking open dropbox folder
. This window appeared a more whitish color against my dark breeze desktop theme, and allowed sharing files, and copying links to files straight from my desktop. But lately, after I did a fresh reinstall of Kubuntu, and thus Dropbox, whenever I do this procedure, I only get a fresh copy of dolphin, with no sharing options available (Normally there is a dropbox tab on the right click dropdown menu for sharing files). Is there any way to fix this?
Install dolphin-plugins
using apt-get
or whatever.
Close all open instances of Dolphin, open Dolphin, click on Control
, Configure Dolphin
, Services
, and activate the Dropbox service.
Again close Dolphin and restart it. You'll see an additional option Move to Dropbox
.
If you right-click on the Dropbox icon in your panel, and click on Open Dropbox Folder
, you'll see various Dropbox-associated options (boxed in a blue rectangle) in the image below:
Please note that all this is with Kubuntu 16.04 with the kubuntu-backports ppa enabled. Things may be different with other Kubuntu versions.
Edit: while you're in the Services tab of Dolphin, you'll see a Download New Services ...
link. If you click on that and sort by rating, there's a Dropbox service having the second highest rating. However, I won't be trying it.
