It does appear that one needs to have the AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support gnome extension installed for the Dropbox menu to work.

 

However the menu no longer works after Powering Off or doing a Restart. However other forums state that the menu is restored after locking the screen by pressing "Windows+L" or "Super+L" and then unlocking the screen again. This has worked for me.

It seems that Dropbox does not play well with some gnome extensions such as Dash to Panel. However the aforementioned Lock screen trick works with Dash to Panel enabled.
