No Dropbox Icon in Mac Menu Bar
The Dropbox icon no longer appears in my MacBook Pro Menu Bar. I have downloaded and installed the Dropbox installer, but it doesn't seem to change anything.
Any idea why or how to get the icon back?
I am using OS Big Sur 11.5.2 on a MacBook Pro (15" 2018), Model # MacBookPro15,1

In my Dropbox folder in Finder, I right click on a folder/file and I no longer have the option for Smart Sync. Has anyone found a solution to this?
You still have the options and they're visible in your screenshot. Dropbox has just renamed them in the more recent versions. Local is now shown as Make available offline and Online-only is now shown as Make online-only. They're no longer listed in a separate sub-menu.

Hey David M.25, thanks for reaching out to our Community!
Can you try uninstalling the current version of the Dropbox app from your computer and then reinstall it from this link, to see if that works?

Thanks for the tip. Pretty obvious. Should have figured that out myself.
