I haven't got it to work yet on Dev Transition Kit.

I downloaded the offline installer in the link in this conversation thread.

What did you do to make it work....

    Same behavior either, 19 processes called: "Dropbox Finder Extension", 4 more called: "Dropbox", 1 called: "Dropbox Web Helper" + 1 called: "DropboxMacUpdate".

    Nothing shows on the screen, only processes running on the background. Nothing shows on the icons on the top bar either.

    Finder do not have Dropbox capabilities.
