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.

Did advanced install already. Same issue.

this might be an understatement, but my dropbox location changed with the latest update under Ventura from the Favorites to the Locations area in Finder. Is there a reason why DB would make this happen? Does it matter?

I have the same problem. None of the posted suggestions that I've seen address this. Please provide a solution!

SO its definitely a limited space issue .. at least with my brand new mbp 16".. it has that notch out for camera or whatever, and the os does not seem to want to put anything on the left of that notch.. i turned off a couple of items.. and voila theres drop box. (and goggle drive).
hopefully, an os update will fix this.
hope this helps - thanks people for pointing me to the right direction 🙂 (interesting the notch doesn't show in the screenshot lol)
