ElementaryOS Freya - Dropbox Icon

I am having problems with the Dropbox icon on the tray with ElementaryOS Freya

Dropbox is syncing, the only problem is the tray icon, which I can’t show yet.

Completed procedures:

1 - Instaled dropbox.deb downloaded from Dropbox using dpkg -i

2 - Installed using .tar downloaded from the Dropbox website using this:

$ cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
$ ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

3 - Installed by an elementary repository using:

$ sudo apt-get install dropbox

4 - I deleted the folder ~/.dropbox, ~/.dropbox.distand then executed by a demon$ dropbox start -i

5 - I put the code export DROPBOX_USE_LIBAPPINDICATOR=1in the file: ~/.bashrc, ~/xsessionrcand /etc/profile.

6 - I installed the packages: pantheon-files-plugin-dropboxandlibappindicator1

Any idea for a fix?

You can try launching Dropbox, then click "Options" and there should be a parameter that shows "Icon in the tray" or something in this list. Please let me know if this helps you or if you need additional help.
