Dropbox GUI gone after Debian 10 Buster Upgrade

Hello,

I used to run Debian 9.x with Kernel 5.1.x with GNOME desktop and Dropbox GUI installed from the Dropbox website (deb file). Usually in the bottom left corner there was a little box to find the Dropbox icon, and to configure it.
After Buster update I still can start Dropbox and see it in "Processes" doing its work, but the GUI cannot be accessed anymore. I did reinstall the lastest Dropbox deb file and made a reboot, same issue. Dropbox has gone invisible ..

    Does not work for me, using Debian stable (Buster), before or after installing (with apt-get) gnome-shell-extension-appindicator.

    Dropbox icon is completely invisible, so I can’t access any of its functionality. (Daemon still works.)
