Missing Dropbox icon overlays after upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10

  • 772

The upgrade went smoothly, Dropbox is working (i.e. it is syncing files), but the icon overlays aren't appearing no matter if I use Unity, Unity 2D or GNOME Shell.

Is there any setting that can fix this?
Is there a new version of the Dropbox extension for Oneiric?

11.10

    Found the following post on the dropbox forums, so two things to try (I can confirm it is working on my computer with nautilus-dropbox 0.6.8-1).

    1) Downgrade to nautilus-dropbox 0.6.8-1 if running a newer version.
    2) Try running the following commands if on the newer version:

        sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.a /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-dropbox.a  
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.la /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-dropbox.la  
    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so

  2. According to this blog post, nautilus-dropbox already has GTK+3 support. There is just one missing symlink, which can be created with this command:

    cd /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0
sudo ln -s ../extensions-2.0/libnautilus-dropbox.so .
nautilus -q

  3. Version 0.7.0 seems to solve this problem.
