I found how to fix it. I'm on xubuntu 18.04. There is a new indicator plugin that you have to ask for the task bar. With the new indicator plugin, the dropbox icon works, but not with the default indicator plugin.

I cannot see why this is marked solved. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04, with gnome-flashback. I cannot run Dropbox as it will totally fill my home dir, and I cannot access dropbox pref. Please tell me how to move the Dropbox folder from the command line (then I can at least start using it).

I was able to solve the problem by following the instructions here:
