The tray icon issue seems related to the Qt theme. My Qt somehow happens to not detect my DE properly and uses its default built-in theme and dropbox works just fine for me. Being annoyed by the ugly UI, I just set the QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE variable and boom, no more tray icon. Setting another Qt theme for now might work as a temporary workaround.

Yep, same here - Tray icon missing completely on Xfce

Same issue here, the icon tray is missing on both Gnome-Shell and Xfce (it appeared briefly on Gnome but disappeared after a reboot).

I confirm the issue, in gnome (with topicons) the icon is missing too.

I upgraded dropbox. After a logout/login, the dropbox icon is "missing" from the system tray. I'm on Gnome and using the Topicons extension. Well it's present but not visible. I can right-click it but the icon itself is not visible.

Last time I tried it didn't work out well. Maybe something would be fine but the bundled Qt wasn't compatible with the system one and removing it lead to crashes.

Run the following command in case you got errors during "Verifying source file signatures with gpg..."
Alternatively, you can download Dropbox's public key from https://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc and import it with:
You can check whether keys are successfully imported or not using the output of
gpg -k
. You should find something like this:yan12125 commented on 2018-08-01 11:41 (UTC) (edited on 2020-01-24 15:13 (UTC) by yan12125)
If you can't run the dropbox@ service normally, try to create a read-only directory ~/.dropbox-dist and run again.
