Dropbox icon missing from menu bar on macOS Ventura

SO its definitely a limited space issue .. at least with my brand new mbp 16".. it has that notch out for camera or whatever, and the os does not seem to want to put anything on the left of that notch.. i turned off a couple of items.. and voila theres drop box. (and goggle drive).

hopefully, an os update will fix this.

 hope this helps - thanks people for pointing me to the right direction 🙂 (interesting the notch doesn't show in the screenshot lol)

I have the same problem on a MacBook Pro M2 2023

Delete some icons in the menubalk. It helpt for me.

OMG I second this.  Close out of a few menu icons and VOILA the Dropbox icon will appear!

My Intel-based 2017 Macbook Pro's backlight died a couple weeks ago, most likely due to #flexgate.

The repair cost as much as a refurb of the same unit, so I opted to make my 2017 MBP a server / desktop computer...and bought a refurb M1 Max Macbook Pro...with a &()*@&#)$(*@&# NOTCH.

Migrated using Migration Assistant.  Dropbox icon not appearing.  WTH?  

Tried the "Advanced Uninstall" described elsewhere in this thread -- no menu icon.  WTH?

There's clearly a large enough empty space for at least one menu icon between the left-most of the menu icons and the right edge of the notch.  Clicked in that empty space, two-finger clicked in that empty space.  NOTHING.

Then I read this posting to close out of menu bar icons.  Some of my other menu icons that hadn't even realized were missing all of a sudden appeared!  Finally the Dropbox icon appeared.  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Same here. Installed the new DropBox for M1 Mac (after a popup from dropbox). Gone from the menu bar in both mac books. Reinstalled etc - nothing

I'm having the same problem as everyone else here ... updated to Ventura and now the menu bar icon is gone and I don't get alerts about synching files, etc. I reinstalled it and that didn't fix it. Deleted other apps from the menu bar so there's plenty of room for Dropbox to show up, but that didn't fix it. Help?

Hi RebeccaLee, in the Dropbox folder in Finder, do you see any syncing icons on the files or folders?

Jay no those synching icons next to the individual files are gone now too.  

Hi RebeccaLee, did you perform a quick re-install (re-installing the app, using this link) or did you uninstall, then re-install it from scratch? 

Megan I tried both methods ... I tried just re-installing it using that method you linked to.  I also dragged the application to the trash and emptied the trash then downloaded and reinstalled the application.  Neither of those things fixed the problem.
