"Open Dropbox Folder" does nothing in Awesome WM

I can start dropbox, but when clicking on the icon in the system tray and selecting "Open Dropbox Folder" nothing happens and no folder is opened. Am I missing some kind of file browser or is this just something that isn't supported in Awesome?

Thanks in advance!

Well dropbox just opens your default file manager, and depending on how you set your system up you may not have one (the big DEs do). Pretty sure it just uses mime.

I sincerely doubt the two problems are related.

Please don't necrobump.

Closing.
