After upgrading to 14.04 my dropbox notifier is missing

Question

Reinstalling lippappindicator1 doesn't help. I'm using dropbox 1.6.1-1. Under 13.10 everything was fine. I'm not sure whether syncing is working.

What is the output of dropbox status? Can you create a file in your Dropbox, then go to the web interface to see if it shows up? — Jos, Apr 22 '14 at 20:17
Yes, I reinstalled nautilus-dropbox. Actually this didn't changed anything. — user272683, Apr 22 '14 at 20:45
In some cases it has helped to uninstall nautilus-dropbox and install the version that Dropbox provides on their website. If that doesn't work, I recommend reporting this as a bug. — Jos, Apr 22 '14 at 20:53
FWIW, mine is working on 14.04. I usually start it from the command line with dropbox start . It took longer than expected for the notifier to show up, but it did. — belacqua, Apr 24 '14 at 22:51

A solution can be found in here.

To fix this Dropbox error in Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Debian, open a terminal and run the following commands:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dropbox/.dropbox-dist
dropbox start -i

It worked perfectly for me!

Providing a bit more detail than just a link would be preferred. – Nattgew May 06 '14 at 17:23
