Ubuntu – No Dropbox icon in the indicator panel

dropboxindicatorstartup

I have recently installed Ubuntu on my machine and everything has been working fine, except I don't see the Dropbox indicator. I have installed and re-installed Dropbox multiple times and can confirm that it's running in the background (with ps -e | grep dropbox).

Does anyone know how to get it back?

Found a solution at the comment #7 from the Ubuntu bug:

  1. Install package sudo apt-get install libappindicator1

  2. Log out, and then log back in (or issue dropbox stop && dropbox start at the command line)
