Hi eferrariph,

 

Thanks for reaching out. 

It sounds like you are experiencing an issue with missing system icons. 
 
Can we try the following:

-click on the Apple logo in the top left corner.
-then we select Force Quit.
-select Finder and relaunch.


Has this helped?

    Sorry to see that you're having this issue, tjshemdbx

    Can you let us know what the version and sync status of the Dropbox app is at the moment?

    You can hover over your Dropbox icon to see this info.

        Hi marioroda, could you confirm the version of Mac OS and the Dropbox desktop application that you're running on your device?

         

        Are you also running the File Provider version of the Dropbox desktop application, where the Dropbox folder is located in the 'Locations' area in the Finder navigation window?

        Thanks for that, tjshemdbx! Can you clarify what steps you’ve tried so far, so that we can guide you from there?
