Reinstalling lippappindicator1 doesn't help. I'm using dropbox 1.6.1-1. Under 13.10 everything was fine. I'm not sure whether syncing is working.

What is the output of `dropbox status`? Can you create a file in your Dropbox, then go to the web interface to see if it shows up? – Jos Apr 22 '14 at 20:17

Good question. No, it doesn't. Sync doesn't work. – user272683 Apr 22 '14 at 20:40

Have you tried reinstalling `nautilus-dropbox`? – Jos Apr 22 '14 at 20:42

Yes, I reinstalled nautilus-dropbox. Actually this didn't changed anything. – user272683 Apr 22 '14 at 20:45

In some cases it has helped to uninstall nautilus-dropbox and install the version that Dropbox provides on their website. If that doesn't work, I recommend reporting this as a bug. – Jos Apr 22 '14 at 20:53

FWIW, mine is working on 14.04. I usually start it from the command line with `dropbox start` . It took longer than expected for the notifier to show up, but it did. – belacqua Apr 24 '14 at 22:51

A solution can be found in here.
To fix this Dropbox error in Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Debian, open a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dropbox/.dropbox-dist
dropbox start -i
It worked perfectly for me!
