For anyone still having this issue, it happened to me today when trying to install on Ubuntu 14.04, i got it working using build 125.4.3474 as Torga mentioned.
Followed the steps in advanced reinstall here but when it tells you do download the latest client:

cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86" | tar xzf -

I changed the link to get the older version:

cd ~ && wget -O - "https://edge.dropboxstatic.com/dbx-releng/client/dropbox-lnx.x86_64-125.4.3474.tar.gz" | tar xzf -

And it worked just fine!

 

Still no updates on the latest build
