Original description below:

When I boot my PC dropbox doesn't starts automatically.
I need to launch it manually from main menu.

There is a checkbox in dropbox settings 'Start Dropbox when system starts', but it doesn't works too.
I've checked this checkbox several times, but on next boot it is checked off again.

I use Ubuntu Mate 16.04, 64-bit version.
