Solved

Can I hide the Dropbox icon from the menu bar?

Can I remove the dropbox icon from the status bar, and later get it back without jeopardizing my dropbox account during that period?

    Hi there, if you don’t want the icon in the menu bar you can simply quit the Dropbox desktop application, which will remove the icon.
     
    This will obviously prevent the app from syncing in the meantime, however the icon will disappear from the menu until the next time you run the app or restart your computer.
     
    As far as I know, there isn’t a way to hide it manually, unless a third party service can do this for you.
     
    If you have any questions, let me know!
