Hey there, Thomas C. G., thanks for posting here! 

 

We don't have a setting that would allow you to temporarily "hide" the Dropbox icon and therefore settings depending on the OSX on your device. 

 

There might be some third-party apps that would allow you to do so, but I can't officially suggest a specific one. 

 

In any case the thread will remain open, and I'd be happy if any of our Community members commented and shared their suggestions with you. 

 

If you need anything else, give us a shout!
