Re: Dropbox Indicator Not Working - eightbit - 03-24-2016
I would like to add that you must right click on the dropbox icon in the tray (after adding the autostart that Jerry posted and logging out/in), choose preferences and UNCHECK start dropbox on system startup. If you do not do this your application autostart dropbox modification will be returned to the "dropbox -i" command and the tray icon will be broken again on next reboot. It was driving me crazy wondering why the setting I changed kept getting reverted. Even if I deleted the dropbox autostart it would be re-created on next boot. Ugh. Turn off the preference and then use Jerry's command in the autostart and it works fine.

Thanks very much for this. I had this issue start on a new LL install and could not understand what was going on.

Having the same issue on Xubuntu. I will try the workaround.
Anyway... you can also go into a terminal window and use the dropbox command to check the status. (dropbox status)

Menu > Settings > Startup > Application Autostart. Remove existing Dropbox entry, create a new one:
Dropbox
Dropbox
bash -c 'export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="" && dropbox start -i'
Logout/in.
