Had the same issue with version 143.4.4161.
Taskbar icon display option would continually reset after a restart of Dropbox.
Uninstalled Dropbox, reinstalled with an hour per desktop and laptop to re-index files.
The issue has now returned with Dropbox version 144.4.4491.
Note in both cases after an app update, the taskbar setting to select which icons should appear contained two entries for Dropbox
<Dropbox 143.4.4161 and Dropbox>
and now
<Dropbox 144.4.4491 and Dropbox>
After the reinstall only a single entry <Dropbox 143.4.4161> was shown.
The procedure to continually uninstall and reinstall after an app update is not a viable workaround.

Seems to be a programming issue with new updates of Dropbox. Please fix with yet a new update. Thank you.

BunkerSoldier yes, this is exactly what I keep experiencing and it is becoming somewhat frustrating. There doesn't appear to be a workaround at this stage?
