Very much the same bug prevents me to update dropbox with the official deb package (1.6.2).
Needed to revert to nautilus-dropbox 1.6.1-1 via Software center -- which works fine, but only in the background, without indicator, and of course refusing to update after the command `dropbox update`
I have a paid dropbox for business account and manage a whole team. Fortunately only Elementary OS experiences the bug.
