Bug Description
I installed Elementary Freya Beta 2. Dropbox does not start even though I've installed.

Apparently someone (Mr. Shaun Ward from Tokyo, Japan) finally figured this out here: www.srw2d. com/getting- dropbox- notification- working- in-elementary- os-freya/

1. Start dropbox with this command DESKTOP= Unity dropbox start
dropbox stop && env XDG_CURRENT_
2. Go to settings and turn off "Start Dropbox on system startup"
3. Go to system settings -> Applications , from the tab up top select "Startup" and add a command from the + button at the bottom left and there will be an input where you can enter in a command below and press enter to save. DESKTOP= Unity dropbox start
env XDG_CURRENT_
Worked for me. I finally have the dropbox indicator working. :))
