Hey Kunal, thanks for joining us on the Dropbox Community.

 

Since the app seems to be working correctly, apart from the Dropbox icon missing, can you try the steps here, to make sure the Dropbox icon is selected to appear in your menu bar?

 

Let me know how that goes and we'll go from there.

There is no option in the Desktop & Dock Tab in the setting to show the Drop Box.

 

 

Sorry for the late reply, had gone sailing.

    No worries, Kunal!

     

    So, Dropbox doesn't appear as an option at all? Hmm, that's strange.

     

    Can you try a more advanced reinstall of the app, to see if that helps?

      I have the same problem. Cannot find Dropbox icon in menu bar no matter what I try and have no way to access Dropbox settings. Have reinstalled - still nothing. Running 13.1 on a 16" 2021 MacBook Pro.

    I just got it back in the Menu Bar by removing Dropbox from the list of "Open on Login" apps under the Login tab, under "General," in System Settings.
