Why the Indicator starts but icon doesn't appear?

The Indicator shows its icon through the Application Indicators mechanism and this mechanism is provided by different tools in different Desktop Environments (DE). Some modern Desktop Environments (DE) even doesn't provide this mechanism by default. It also important to distinguish the Application indicators and System Tray. Some Apps can show its icon through the both mechanisms. But this Indicator works only as Application indicator.

Can the Indicator handle several user accounts for yandex.disk?

Yes, the Indicator can handle several demons (they are shown as separate icons in toolbar).

--config key allows to add new daemon by specifying the daemon configuration file. You may configure the new daemon (with new user account, folder, config and id path) in console via yandex-disk token command, or you can specify a new config file path to indicator and indicator suggests you to configure a new daemon via the GUI configuration utility (you have to provide user name/password and auth-file location). Note that when you are going to add new daemon to indicator, you have to exit from existing indicator and then restart it with --config key. After that indicator will show additional icon in toolbar. Icons and their menus looks like independent but they are handled by one process.
