Missing menu bar on Ventura 13.4.1

Missing dropbox menu bar, running Ventura 13.4.1—I've seen a lot of comments about this without a fix. I have tried all the usual redownload advice but still no help. I need to change my sync setting but it seems this is only doable via the menu bar.... help!

    Hi Smaller, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    It's possible that you might have too many menu bar items, and the Mac OS is hiding the Dropbox icon, as it has been reported before. 

     

    Could you try quitting some other apps to see if the Dropbox icon appears again?

     

    Keep me posted!

      Thanks Jay —You're right!!! I hooked up to a large screen and there it was. What a simple and stupid glitch. Many thanks for your help
