This is a known issue which effects several applications. To fix it edit the ~/.config/autostart/dropbox.desktop file and change the Exec line to this:
Exec=env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE="" dropbox start -i
Log out and back in and the icon should be correct. I have noticed that even with this the menu sometimes does not appear correctly, but usually a second click will work.
My complete .desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Dropbox
GenericName=File Synchronizer
Comment=Sync your files across computers and to the web
Exec=env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE="" dropbox start -i
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=dropbox
Categories=Network;FileTransfer;
StartupNotify=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

I have added my complete .desktop, in case I missed something. Hope it helps, it has worked for me for a long time.– rdanterJul 29, 2017 at 21:52

The previous answer has worked until I restart my system. But this script is working for me permanently
