Welcome to the forum, André.
Did you install the desktop bundle first ?
sudo swupd bundle-list | grep desktop
sudo swupd bundle-add desktop
Thanks Yes, GNOME desktop is fully installed and running fine.

Another questions is if anyone actually got it working at all ?
Welcome to the forums! I would suggest checking that you have status icons enabled through gnome. I forget the default setting, but I know they have an option to hide them.
For tray icons you need topicons plus
as a Gnome extension, and you need to install the proprietary Dropbox client. That can be found at their GitHub, which provides Nautilus integration.
Can somebody confirm that they managed to enable the icon?
As I replied before, you need to install the proprietary Dropbox, which comes with Nautilus integration.
Hey doct0rHu. Many thanks for you replay. I tried to follow your steps but still I don’t get a dropbox icon in the top bar. I did the following:
TopIcons Plus
over the Software centerrpm
file from https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/fedora/nautilus-dropbox-2019.02.14-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm
rpm -U --nodeps nautilus-dropbox-2019.02.14-1.fedora.x86_64.rpm
What did I miss?
I’m away from my computer and I may not recall correctly. The pop-up menu might be available after you installed KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator Support
.
If you don’t need that GUI settling, you can use dropbox command in terminal.
