Hi tfd0926, sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that it sounds like you're using the latest version of our desktop app.
With this version, we're transitioning to using GUIDs to manage the taskbar icon and some users will notice their taskbar icon position preferences will not be remembered during the transition.
You can find out more about this on this page.
I hope this helps to some extent.

Dropbox StaffHey tfd0926, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you please open the Dropbox app preferences and see if the 'start Dropbox on system startup' option is checked?
To find the preferences, click on that Dropbox icon in your system tray, then on your initials/profile pic and then on 'preferences'.
If it's already checked, uninstalling and reinstalling the application might help.
Just, if you have a free account, make sure you have less than 3 devices linked to your account, before uninstalling.
Let me know how it goes!
How is the solution always to uninstall the app and reinstall it. Its only been an issue since the last dropbox update.
Dropbox makes an update, it breaks something why cant they fix the issue in another update.
