Hello everyone! I am here again. 😊
I had forgotten to say that the problem arose after the automatic Dropbox update to the current version 144.4.4491.
For the moment at least, I can say I have solved!
Two ways:
- in two computers, I first relocated the Dropbox icon in the position of the taskbar from me desired, so immediately I reinstalled Dropbox using the web-installer; after that the icon has remained correctly in its place;
- in the third computer I did not proceed with a new installation, but I acted on the taskbar settings, actually deactivating and reactivating all the visible icons and then choosing one for one which icon to display in the taskbar.
I hope I explained!
Thank you all for your attention! 😉

I'm running Dropbox 144.4.4491 (32-bit) on Windows 11 21H2 (64-bit). I believe my issue is related to this one, since it involves the same version of Dropbox.

Matilda12 Reinstalling Dropbox via the web installer worked for me on Windows 11. Thanks for your help.

I can also confirm that re-running the installer on Windows 11 21H2 solves the issue.
You don't have to uninstall or anything like that, just download and run the installer over the current installation, it will simply say you've updated to the new version.
