    Lo and behold - I finally have a Dropbox icon/menu on my System tray - but only after I removed-rebooted-reinstalled-rebooted for every element  in the process. Finally.... but for how long? (Fingers crossed)

Well, I tried that. Plus I went through the routine ' To install Ayatana Indicators for Linux Mint (MATE)'.

I am no further advanced.

At login I get the pop-up message: Dropbox requires App Indicator support to display the Dropbox tray icon. Dropbox will continue to run in the background. For Full access to the tray icon, you will need to update your environment.

Not at all encouraging :-(
