I've added an entry at the startup applications for Dropbox to run this command:
dropbox start -i
.
After log on, dropbox isn't started.
Although, when I run this dropbox start -i
from the terminal Dropbox starts successfully.
Is there any log to see why it didn't start?

Click on the dropbox icon on the top of your screen, hit "preferences" and tick the button where it says "Start dropbox on system startup" in the "general" tab.
If this doesn't work do it command line way :)
Create /etc/init.d/dropbox
Make sure to change line 3 to your computer username not the dropbox user
DROPBOX_USERS="user1 user2"
and on line 5 make sure you got the right execute file in dropbox-dist
'DAEMON=.dropbox-dist/dropbox'
mine had to be DAEMON=.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
Then make the script executable and add it to the system startup:
you can test the script by writing
