As I recall, Dropbox is not in the repositories, only the File Browser Integration is.
And dropbox-nautilus will bootstrap the same cli install on the Dropbox website.
Of course, any way you slice it, the cli install installs the GUI as well. And since it installs per-user, it updates on its own and not through the Software Center.
Personally, I fixed that. There is no reason for Dropbox to install an extra copy of itself to my home folder, not when I already installed it to /opt (Arch Linux has an AUR package) so I made a ~/.dropbox-dist folder and chmodded it to 000 so dropbox cannot write to it. Now the system package is used, plus I can control the version.
I won't update either, not until they unbundle Qt/Gtk. (I forget which they switched to, but they stopped depending on the system version, equaling massive bloat, and disk space is a concern of mine. Plus it is a dickish move.)
