Dropbox GUI gone after Debian 10 Buster Upgrade

[Pummelchen]

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 ..

Yes, you can do the same in VMware. However my scenario is different:

Host OS only uses Dropbox to sync VMware machines. One Debian VM syncs all Dropbox data (except the VMware machines) and provides that Dropbox folder to the LAN via SMB/FTP. Having Dropbox on each server/workstation creates a mess, so we switched to a centralized solution with SMB/FTP and use 1 Dropbox instance as a background cloud sync.

The benefit is that the VMware host can crash, and I can quickly deploy the Dropbox VM to a new server and do not need to resync everything. Its much faster to manage a LAN this way.

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.)
