You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

System icon disappears from Taskbar (Windows 10 Pro)
There's a few topics on this already, but none with my specific issue.
Dropbox app is definitely installed on my Surface Pro and I am actively using it throughout each day. However, the Dropbox...
There have been no Microsoft Windows updates for me since this started. With the last Dropbox revision, the same problem was happening. I was told to uninstall the desktop app, and then reinstall it. That fixed the problem. Then Dropbox released an update, new version 144.4.4491, and the same problem started again. It's Dropbox, not Windows.
Thanks RBinPerson
Thanks for the insight. And thanks for correcting me. Microsoft just messes up everything else so I assumed.
Great information in this thread, and I don't want to mix it up.
Dropbox is and has been pretty responsive. They will get it worked out soon.
Oh, come on. Go into Registry and do all these tasks? Way too complex. Please, just fix the app and issue a new version that is a simple update.

Hi everyone, I’m glad to hear the issue seems to be resolved after updating your devices to the latest app version.
In case any of you still face the same issue though after that point, feel free to give me a shout.
Cheers!
I've been having the same problem lately. In my taskbar preferences there's dropbox and dropbox 144.4.4491, and when I power on my computer only the dropbox one is on, I must manually set the right one to have it appear.

Hi everyone, if you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link?
Desktop and Laptop now running Dropbox 145.4.4921 with different results re. the taskbar icon.
Desktop looks to be functioning correctly with icon showing as expected. Quit out of app and restarted a few times, restarted computer a few times and in all occasions the taskbar setting to show the Dropbox icon has been retained.
Taskbar settings option has two entries for Dropbox with second line info text of <Dropbox 145.4.4921 Up to date> and <Dropbox 144.4.4491 Syncing>.
Laptop is acting as before with the taskbar icon for Dropbox 145.4.4921 resetting after quitting and restarting the app. Taskbar settings option has two entries for Dropbox with second line info text of <Dropbox 145.4.4921 Up to date> and <no text>.
On this computer the <Dropbox 145.4.4921> always reverts to OFF when Dropbox is started and the one with no version info always reverts to ON.
Knowing that Dropbox 145.4.4921 seems to be acting as expected on my Desktop, I will uninstall and reinstall on both machines to clear out the rouge Taskbar icon entries and hopefully resolve the ongoing issue with the laptop.
In my case, the new Dropbox version 145.4.4921 is working correctly regarding the taskbar icon, and there isn't an additional Dropbox version shown in the settings. Case closed for me! Thanks.
Same here, the update seems to have fixed the problem.
Same success for me. Version 145.4.4921 is working again as expected in Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.
Great job by the Dropbox team!
Outstanding responsive customer support!
Thank you.
