Hi AmettOmega; how are you today?
I'm sorry to ask, but are you perhaps referring to the app's icon within your computer's system tray/menu bar?

I hope this helps!

Ah, it is the "Dropbox Badge". Weird name for a collaboration tool. Thanks a lot, I went to the help article. Hopefully that will resolve it.
