Hello Walter and Hannah! Started up the MacBook Pro this AM and, guess what? NO Dropbox icon on the menu bar at the top!!! It WAS there for sure when we were last in touch BUT definitely NOT there today. Any thoughts or suggestions? Sorry to bug you right before the holiday!

Hello again, folks! I just opened my MacBook Pro and, suddenly, the Dropbox icon has returned to the menu bar!!! Just selected it and my Dropbox files are all visible.......not sure what happened BUT the news is good. Hope that it remains now. I just also updated the OS to Sonoma 14.2.1 so perhaps that helped Dropbox's to show up again?? Back to your holiday prep, happy holidays to all...and to all a Good Night!

Merry Christmas to you all! well, the issue continues. Between yesterday and today, the Dropbox icon has again disappeared from the menubar! I updated the OS to Sonoma 14.2.1 and, for several hours, the icon was visible BUT the menubar icon is definitely gone.....again. May I ask a stupid question? Why is this happening after years of the icon always being visible? It is dependably visible on my MacMini running Sonoma, also updated to 14.2.1 ...........sorry to have to restart the conversation again! Happy New Year too, BTW!
