Apparently someone (Mr. Shaun Ward from Tokyo, Japan) finally figured this out here:

1. Start dropbox with this command
dropbox stop && env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity dropbox start

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.
env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity dropbox start

Worked for me. I finally have the dropbox indicator working. :))
