Owncloud is not working anymore after connecting to Dropbox via App

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run server
  2. Install dropbox app
  3. Connect to dropbox (it shows connected)
  4. Go to files

Expected behaviour

When loading the files page, I would expect to see all files and the connected dropbox folder.

Actual behaviour

It's just showing procress bar and never loads the files overview page. I have to remove the dropbox config to get ownCloud working again.

Log error:

It seems that there is a problem with the dropbox app and php 5.6. You might want to update your php version to 7, or disable the dropbox app until the problem is fixed.

Depends if the problem will be fixed one day. Is it a known issue or is it tracked?

I think https://github.com/owncloud/files_external_dropbox/pull/15 is the PR fixing the problem.
I guess the release is blocked due to some additional problems found, so I'm not sure when the app will be released
