In Ubuntu Studio the apps you can download are accessed through a program called Discover. If you search for Dropbox in Discover it finds the app but when you install it, nothing happens. The Dropbox app shows up in the list of installed programs but when you click it, it does nothing. Alternatively, if you install the app from Dropbox.com, it goes through all the motions but nothing happens when you try to start it. It appears Dropbox has unfortunately stopped development for Linux related operating systems.

Have you had a look at this article to see if it meets minimum requirements? Especially the link to the one where it talks about additional libraries etc.
