Description Storm Engineer 2016-03-29 05:58:09 UTC 
Since I upgraded to Plasma6KDE 5.6.0, Dropbox is missing its system tray icon again. This has been an issue in the past, and has been fixed for quite a while, so not sure if this issue is related to the old one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Dropbox

Actual Results:  
No icon in system tray even though Dropbox is running

Expected Results:  
Dropbox icon should appear in system tray

Hello, I have just upgraded to Kubuntu 16.04 from 15.04 and it went very well, I am now running plasma version 5.6.90 and initially the dropbox icon was showing ok, then I upgraded some packages including a new set of icons and it disappeared although dropbox is still running in the background, its annoying since I can't even uninstall dropbox from the system as it says it isn't installed....however I just wanted to know if there was any fix for the dropbox icon missing? thanks
