Strange: I have been a member using the "free" Dropbox on my MacBook Pro r(now running Sonoma 17.2) for years. All of a sudden, the menu bar icon of Dropbox has disappeared. I have reinstalled the ap...

Dropbox StaffHey toysbyus - I know this might sound trivial, but have you rebooted your computer and/or quit and relaunched the app since you first noticed this?
Nothing trivial about your suggestion: I've rebooted several times and no change. I'll try it again from the MacBook Pro and report back BUT I suspect that the Dropbox appl. is not going to show up in the menu bar........
Thanks for sticking with me! Remember that the icon USED to be visible but only changed its behavior after one of the Sonoma updates......
Hello Walter:
No updates at all, unfortunately. I have a Dropbox icon in my Dock that, when selected, shows Dropbox folder with some old files that I did BUT no way to "quit" the appl. Also, no dot under the Dock Dropbox icon indicating that it's even running. Dropbox appl. is shown to be in the Mac HD under "Applications" but no way to close it...or open it. How strange.....
Restarting the MacBook does NOT make the upper menubar DB icon become visible.
Screwy, eh?
