Dropbox icon missing from menu bar on macOS Ventura
dropbox Icon missing from Menu Bar on macOS Ventura.
Before installing Ventura dropbox icon was visible in Menu Bar.
I stopped the dropbox application and restarted it and there was no ch...
I have a new MacBookPro w/OS Ventura, and it's got the same issue. I was able to delete some lesser used apps/icons in the menu bar and VOILA the dropbox icon re-appeared. These MBP's have a blind tab in the top middle of the display, which I believe is obscuring some icons. It's deceptive, because the menu bar appears to have space available for one or two more on the side of that black tab.
(FWIW--- One of the apps/icons I hid was GoogleDrive. I had to turn it off. I often have to, and had to with my older MBP on Catalina, as Google conflicts with Dropbox's ability to show "online-only" type icons to the right of each file/folder name in the list. Or even show the list of available actions when one right-clicks on a file. That's still happening. But I suppose that's for another post.)
OMG I second this. Close out of a few menu icons and VOILA the Dropbox icon will appear!
My Intel-based 2017 Macbook Pro's backlight died a couple weeks ago, most likely due to #flexgate.
The repair cost as much as a refurb of the same unit, so I opted to make my 2017 MBP a server / desktop computer...and bought a refurb M1 Max Macbook Pro...with a &()*@&#)$(*@&# NOTCH.
Migrated using Migration Assistant. Dropbox icon not appearing. WTH?
Tried the "Advanced Uninstall" described elsewhere in this thread -- no menu icon. WTH?
There's clearly a large enough empty space for at least one menu icon between the left-most of the menu icons and the right edge of the notch. Clicked in that empty space, two-finger clicked in that empty space. NOTHING.
Then I read this posting to close out of menu bar icons. Some of my other menu icons that hadn't even realized were missing all of a sudden appeared! Finally the Dropbox icon appeared. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
