I found the solution of this thread: https://askubuntu.com/questions/732967/dropbox-icon-is-not-working-xubuntu-14-04-lts-64/
The command I use is 'sed -i.bak '/#!\/bin\/sh/a export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=""' ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd; dropbox stop && dropbox start ' However, I agree, this is hardly recommended for new and regular linux users.
