No. I do not time for this task, because my actual user, .config folder is too huge to find differences with a default folder .config user.
But this last check is most short task. And I want to help to find the solution with my input.
Terminal responds:
xxxx:~$ python ./tray_test.py
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
xxxx:~$ /usr/lib/insync/py ./tray_test.py
/usr/lib/insync/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20’ not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxy.so.1)

QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
The same icon appeared as david illustrate above.
I also uninstalled the insync and reinstalled it but the same icon…
@thomaseo: I see. Please try testing another icon under /usr/share/icons/hicolor if it has the same result. You don’t need to use the whole name of the file, just the part before the extension. So if the icon’s name is insync-normal.png for example, you only use insync-normal.
Same result,
under the hicolor directory there are subdirectories like 32x32, 42x42, 48x48. Only under the 48x48/status there are all the insync-xxxxx.png icons.
@thomaseo: I see. This seems to be a general issue with PySide or Qt 4 on your system. If you have appmenu-qt5 installed please check if uninstalling it will help.
Uninstall appmenu-qt5, restart pc and same icon again…
For me same result. No icon…
@thomaseo: I see. Unfortunately I’m not sure how to resolve this since it seems to be a general issue with PySide or Qt 4 on your system.
@David_Gamiz_Jimenez: For your case I think it is still a value somewhere in the ~/.config folder of your account. Or maybe a value in your environment? Try running Insync with an empty env using env -i DISPLAY=:0 insync start --no-daemon to check if that has any effect.

Having the same issue on Ubuntu 16.10.
Everything seems to be working properly.
I’m able to watch -n1 insynch get_sync_progress.
And watch it progress along nicely.
All my files are in my GUI file explorer.
I just don’t have the widget in the systray.
Same icon with n empty env…
Tried all of the suggestions in this thread.
What did work though was uninstalling, deleting the original folder, and reinstalling. Not sure what happened or what I changed…but now it’s working.
Lol. It’s a great software. Just have to play a little wack a mole with linux glitches.
i managed to solve the issue.
using this modified snippet to get more info:
from PySide.QtGui import QApplication, QIcon, QSystemTrayIcon
import sys, signal
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
QIcon.setThemeName('hicolor')
icon = QIcon.fromTheme('insync-normal')
tray = QSystemTrayIcon(icon)
tray.show()
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_DFL)
for path in QIcon.themeSearchPaths():
print "%s/%s" % (path, QIcon.themeName())
sys.exit(app.exec_())
this way i print the paths where the system search for hicolor theme.
In my case it printed:
/home/USERNAME/.icon/hicolor
/home/USERNAME/.icons/hicolor
/usr/share/ubuntu/icons/hicolor
/usr/share/gnome/icons/hicolor
/home/USERNAME/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/icons/hicolor
/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor
/usr/share/icons/hicolor
/var/lib/snapd/desktop/icons/hicolor
and takes the first folder that exists.
In my case these were all empty but /home/USERNAME/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/icons/hicolor, since time ago i installed an app using flatpack. Purging flatpack from the system solved the issue (since obviously there were no insync icons there).
Hi,
I experienced the same issue with my ubuntu 16.04 machine when I installed flatpack, I purgue it and my insync icons went back, but I need to have flatpack installed, there is a way to have both apps installed without loosing any of its funcionalities.
JC.
In version 1.3.15 the icon came back!!! Thank you
Yes, Now show icon perfectly!! Thanks! 
I installed insync on mint 18 and have no tray icon.
I ve reinstalled with no luck.
Its running without tray icon.
when I type the above command I get the following:
“sni-qt/2328” WARN 22:45:34.747 void StatusNotifierItemFactory::connectToSnw() Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE
No systemtrayicon available
ERROR:root:Cannot initialize notifications.
Try:
sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/status/insync* /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/48x48/status/
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Adwaita
sudo cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/status/insync* /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/status/
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/gnome
Then restart GNOME (Alt-F2 r).
