UPDATE 2:

Dropbox Team Member Rian H. posted a reply assuring that the team is working to make Dropbox fully compatible with Mac OS X Lion.

“hey everyone, just wanted to give you all a heads-up that we’ll be working diligently on making dropbox 100% compatible with 10.7 over the next couple of months. stay tuned!”

UPDATE:
