It seems Dropbox is not really compatible with Loki.
Dropbox runs but the icon does not show in slingshot even when using the trick we used in Freya: env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity dropbox start
Also there are no Dropbox icons nor Dropbox menu in Files !
Is it possible to fix this ?
I recommend this script https://github.com/zant95/elementary-dropbox. Works like a charm.
From the script https://github.com/zant95/elementary-dropbox, I gathered I just needed to add QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=''
so the complete line to add in the autostart applications (Parameters => Applications => Startup) is:
env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE='' dropbox start
And uncheck the "startup at launch" option, from dropbox application.
WATCH OUT for the single quote in the command as double quote will generate a silent error (Loki bug).
And dropbox indicator works fine !
I installed Caja Dropbox from the app store and added it to my apps at start up and then switched the slider to on.
