So I started off with the case of the disappearing black Dropbox icon from my Sonoma 14.5 menu bar.  Then I was told to do an advanced reinstall.  That didn't work.  Then I was told to create a new profile on my MacBook Pro (which I reluctantly did) and download Dropbox and transfer a few test files over to the new profile.  If the black icon appeared, I was told it must be some sort of misconfiguration on the original profile and was beyond the scope of Dropbox support.  Fine.  So I was I told to just use the new profile from here on in.  Guess what?  The black icon has now disappeared from the new profile.  This is not a Dropbox problem?  Give me a break.  Dropbox has a Sonoma 14.5 compatility problem.
