I have installed Ubuntu MATE 16.04.4 LTS. Then I did the following to install Dropbox:
I installed
caja-dropbox
package to it.During installation of
caja-dropbox
proprietary part was downloaded (DropBox v.43.4.50), then it opened Firefox for authentication, after it opened Caja in~/Dropbox
folder. Also it shown icon in notification area/tray.I clicked on systemtray icon, selected Preferences->General and checked Start Dropbox on system start-up and rebooted.
After reboot I do not have Dropbox icon in tray, it does not have desktop-file in XDG autostart (
~/.config/autostart
).
What should I do to make Dropbox autostart with system on MATE?

After having 15-minutes of googling I found solution (see launchpad bug 1604439).
The solution:
caja-dropbox autostart y
After reboot Dropbox shows its icon in system-tray, Caja shows overlay icon on ~/Dropbox
folder and works correctly.
Note: this solution works on coming Ubuntu 18.04 LTS too.
