Dropbox Community ModeratorHi samccarver, it isn't possible to have the Dropbox icon in the dock. It will only appear on the menu bar near the clock when you run the app from the Applications folder.
Could you attach a screenshot showing the menu bar, and the 'Force quit' window on Mac to confirm that the Dropbox app is running, but has no icon on the menu bar?

I checked as you asked in order to do a screen shot.
However FORCE QUIT does not show Dropbox as running.
However, the app is showing in the task bar. Clicking on the Dropbox logo in the task bar does show the app as active and the programs that I have that use Dropbox as a sync are showing as up to date from the last time I modified data in the program. The updated files are showing in the programs on my iPad and MacBook Pro (M1Max) that are using Dropbox to sync changes in program input between my Mac Pro desktop and the iPad and the MacBook Pro.
Hope this helps further.
Thanks

Would you mind sharing a screenshot of what your desktop and menu bar look like so we can have a clear visual on our end?
Thank you!Here's the screen shot. Hope it helps.
- JayAccording to the screenshot, I can see the Dropbox icon in the menu bar; it's the leftmost icon near the center of the screen at the top as there are a lot of items there.
