I am running (X)Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, have found the Dropbox Icon has disappeared and I can no longer use it to inspect the Dropbox folder with the Dropbox options available eg right click and copy a Dropbox share URL. At the moment this is the icon that comes and goes as I stop and start Dropbox from the command line <img alt="" src="cid:part1.03020902.06030003@bigpond.com" height="29" width="224"> (the red circle with a slash through it). I am running the Indicator Plugin and it has a couple of functions showing OK (Network, System, Audio all work OK), however there is no Dropbox listed in the "Indicator apps". Clicking on the red circle icon only makes a little single line shadow under it and nothing else. I have completely un-installed Dropbox and then reinstalled, to no avail, and also the same with remove/reinstall Indicator. I have disconnected this machine from Dropbox via their website on another machine, and then re-linked it again and no improvement. I have tried various command line statements eg dropbox stop and then dropbox start as well as sudo dropbox stop && DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="" dropbox start which did a restart and removed the red circle but did not replace it with the proper Drop box icon. When I ran the Dropbox application from the Applications Menu the red circle icon returned. <div> As I am not a high level 'Nix user I have quickly hit a brick wall. If anyone could help me debug my set up, or offer suggestions as to what I could try, I would be very grateful.
