I have read every complex thread here and I finally just decided to move the Dropbox icon to my trash folder. I then restarted my Mac (Ventura 13.4), reinstalled Dropbox, and voilà! The icon is back in my menu bar.

ive done this vert thing with no luck. Weird that the app is only accessible in the menu bar and not an actual application. Seems like a poor design.

    Hi everyone, as Tbrees24 has mentioned there may be a workaround for this, would you mind trying it to see if it helps?

    Let me know!
