Reinstalling dropbox had no effect, but after some searching I found this post at askubuntu.
They recommended removing the .dropbox-dist folder in the home directory.
I did that, and then issued the following command:
bjorn@bjorn-ThinkPad-T450s:~$ dropbox start -i
Starting Dropbox...Done!
A dialog is initiated informing the user that the Dropbox daemon is being downloaded. After that Dropbox seems to work normally.
