Dropbox gone from indicator area after upgrade to 11.04

I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 today, so I'm using Unity now, and Dropbox has disappeared from the indicator area. It still works, but it's hard to use now.

I've already tried removing it and reinstalling from the site. I noticed that this readds the dropbox repository to the APT sources (the upgrade disabled it), but it's a maverick source.

How can I get it back?

Solution 1:

have you checked if it's actually running? possibly you run a non-current release of dropbox, and just the indicator has vanished. dropbox only recently added indicator-applet compatibility, which is needed for natty.

upgrade dropbox by running

dropbox stop
rm -r ~/.dropbox-dist
dropbox start -i

edit: not that bug after all, thx jorge. Seems to be fixed with a new dropbox version, though: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=37361&replies=20#post-315358

Solution 2:

Dropbox themselves have just released today the their latest version with App Indicator support.

It should update automatically or you can get it here.
