How to add DropBox icon to Tool Bar on Mac?
I recently set up Dropbox with the new location, as per Dropbox instructions. Seems fine. But I can't figure out how to return the Dropbox Icon to my toolbar.
MacBook Air running Ventura
Super simple fix but it did not come easily. I removed a few apps from the menu bar and boom it showed up!
Try to restart Dropbox, if still your problem is not resolved then try to reinstall after this I hope your problem will be resolved. The other method is to customize your notification area through taskbar.
Thank you for the suggestion.
However, this did not change anything. I reinstalled Dropbox. I can still reach my Dropbox files stored locally. But I can't be sure anything is syncing with Dropbox in the cloud, so I must manually type in Dropbox, login online, and check.
And I have been searching for a setting for the toolbar, but nothing I try has worked.

Thanks for looking at this.
Unfortunately, those pages don't provide a way to add an app to the menu bar/tool bar. They have an assortment of information to make the desktop do some dancing baloney, but nothing that adds an icon. I don't remember how the Dropbox icon was placed there before. So I've also tried a variety of drag and drop movements, and searched through Apple/System Settings, but haven't found anything that works.
Still hoping someone has figured this out and can share.- Walter
Hey LRicci, sorry to jump in, but can you try a test file to see if the app is actually syncing?
You could verify this by taking a look at your account on the website.
If you could also attach a screenshot of how your files inside your Dropbox folder look like and what options you see when you right click on them, I'd appreciate it.
