Netctl-auto and dropbox

Question

Hi, I've been reading the wiki. The only difference is my interface name is wlp2s0 instead of wlan0. So I went to /etc/netctl/interfaces and I created a new file called wlp2s0 with the contents
ExecUpPost="su -c 'DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/dropboxd &' root || true"
ExecDownPre="killall dropbox"
However, this doesn't seem to do anything. I've disabled the "Start Dropbox on system startup" option, but everytime I restart, there's no dropbox icon in the dock like there normally is. What am I doing wrong?
Internet roaming still seems to work, even after putting the computer to sleep.

Wonderwoofy,
I'm having a similar problem with my [email protected] connecting at startup. It loads fine but stays on connecting....... . I can stop and restart it using
# systemctl stop/start dropbox@dmy
and it works as expected. I can use the same method that boogerland describes in the first post and it works fine but I wanted to get it to work with systemd if possible. Any thoughts? Here's my [email protected]
