Dropbox Icon missing Windows 10
I fired my laptop up a couple of days ago and I noticed that the dropbox icon in the taskbar was missing. I checked task manager and dropbox is running theres just no icon and if I kill the task and...
Hi, I had this same (infuriating!) problem and fixed it thusly:
Right click on the systray area
select Properties
then select Notification area > customize
At the top there is a link to "Select which icons appear on the taskbar"
Go in there and toggle whatever setting you see for your dropbox icon.
Exit out -- should be fixed.
In my case the dropbox icon was set to "on" and I toggled it off. After exiting the dialog, I had my dropbox icon back in the "show hidden icons" area. I repeated the above and toggled the dropbox icon back to "on" and now it is back in my systray where it belongs.
I hope this helps someone.

Solution: as of Sep 15 2018, right click on taskbar in windows, select "Taskbar settings," and scroll down to section "Notification Area," and select "Select which Icons Appear on the Taskbar." here you should see DROPBOX and can turn it on!
My dropbox icon is missing too.
