Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

As stated in bug #1211046 the missing U1 Sync indicator is fixed albeit it's missing an image next to the Ubuntu One on/off switch (in the indicator's menu).

Dropbox is running but there's no Dropbox indicator in the top bar.

Also, there's no U1 or Dropbox integration in Nautilus context menu, don't know if it's related.

[Thomas Poulsen (thomas-lha66)]

The U1 issue first described in bug #1211046 has been fixed, but the missing Dropbox indicator covered by this bug is still an issue.
So the status as being duplicate should be removed.

Dropbox is running but no Dropbox indicator in the top bar for me either.

Same problem with the copy.com app (no top-bar indicator), which used to work fine in 13.04.

[Tony (tonyr2k8)]

Found a work around:

1. install package

sudo apt-get install libappindicator1

2. Log out, and then log back in.

* The above does not work real well with the copy.com, but does allow dropbox to function properly.

[David Hocking (g-dave-m)]

Thanks, the above worked for me too

And what about copy.com? No indicator in 13.10

[Sanjeev Gupta (ghane)]

Tony, your workaround in #7 works perfectly. I spent all of today looking for a solution, and wven signed up for Ubuntu One to see if the Sync menu would help. Nothing did, till this.

Now to uninstall lots of other stuff I installed today (like gnome-tweak-tool, unitu-tweak-tool, etc).

Thank you,

[Bert Vorenholt (bert-vorenholt-nl)]

Thanks Tony! Your workaround (#7) works like a charm :-)

[Davide (dspinell)]

The workaround in #7 works with dropbox but not with copy.com (fresh install of ubuntu 13.10 64 bit)

[Alessandro Falappa (alex-falappa)]

Confirmed.

Workaround from #7 works for me too.

[Celian (r-launchpad-celian-dk)]

Workaround does nothing for me. At first my mouse cursor dissappeared, but later returned after reboot. But still no icon. :-(

[Nat Wilson (njwilson23)]

Fix #7 works for dropbox. Logging in and out in unecessary. Instead, doing

dropbox stop
dropbox start

worked for me.

[Mattia Rizzolo (mapreri)]

We can't do anything for the copy.com client. That software isn't in the Ubuntu archive, and we can't do anything particular to make that software works fine.

It's a job for the copy.com developers, not for the Ubuntu ones.

[Rob (rstreeter78-deactivatedaccount)]

The copy indicator, will show if you create a folder in your home directory named (.icons) after doing so stop the copy process and then click on the copyagent binary logout and then log back in the copy indicators should show up again, the only downside is that the only thing you can see in the drop down menu is your email address and visit copy.com.
