I has a similar problem following my upgrade to 14.04. My solution was 
to uninstall Dropbox, delete the hidden Dropbox folder in Home, and then 
I also deleted all other Dropbox folders that came up on a search of my 
computer.

(please note, I did not delete the Dropbox folder in Home that contains 
copies local copies of the data that I store in Dropbox)

I then rebooted, and reinstalled Dropbox. Because all the settings files 
for Dropbox had been removed, Dropbox ran the whole initial startup 
procedure as for a brand new installation. Everything worked fine after 
that.
