Can you try a more advanced reinstall of the Dropbox application, to see if that helps?
Let me know and we'll go from there.

Hi Kunal and EMS3; is it OK if we open two tickets for each one of you and investigate this further?

Could this possibly be on the other end? For instance, the processes coming from computer's operating system. My suggestion which may be totally irrelevant, but never hurts, and yet in fact is a good maintenance routine for apple computers. I do this about every other month. I open the Disk Utility application which is nested in the Utilities folder located within the Applications folder. Within Disk Utility I make sure all disks are unhidden in the sidebar. I then select the internal main Hard Drive volume, not the disk it is nested in. This is not crucial, but it is recommended by Apples Help information that you start with this selection or choose this selection if its the only one you do so. After selecting the volume perform the FirstAid tool. This searches for anything out of place & repairs it. Usually the process can be fairly quick taking anywhere from a minute to 7 minutes or so. If your computer is older & the storage is quite full, it can take much longer in rare cases. It is not necessary, however, I systematically going on to every other disk & volume whether it be internal or an external hard drive and perform the First Aid on the remaining items shown in the sidebar. I have found this helps my computer & external hard drives running smoothly & efficiently.

I am having the same issue. This I really hurting me today with work. No Dropbox ICON in the menu bar top right of Mac OS on Ventura 13.5.1 (22G90) - Essentially I cannot access settings for dropbox. I need selective sync to get files on my computer and not through the web browser. No options now since I UPDATED to the new Dropbox folder situation after being prompted by Dropbox just a few days ago.

Hey dillonpadgette, sorry to hear about this.
If you don't see the Dropbox icon in your menu bar, it means that the desktop app isn't running at the moment.
In that case, you could try relaunching it from your Apps folder.
If that doesn't help, you can try (re)installing it directly from this page.
