How to add DropBox icon to Tool Bar on Mac?
I recently set up Dropbox with the new location, as per Dropbox instructions. Seems fine. But I can't figure out how to return the Dropbox Icon to my toolbar.
MacBook Air running Ventura
Super simple fix but it did not come easily. I removed a few apps from the menu bar and boom it showed up!
I'd like to know the answer to this question as well. Note that I am on MacOS 13 Ventura. A friend would like to get a Dropbox icon on his Desktop. He currently does not have a Dropbox icon in the Dock, also not in the menu bar at the top of the screen, also not as an icon on the Desktop, also not listed in the left-hand side of Finder windows. I have been watching as various support people do not understand or willfully ignore or pretend to answer the question but do not. To be clear: there is NO Dropbox icon in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen. There is NO Dropbox icon in the Dock. A right-click on the Dropbox app in the Applications folder produces the same result as a right-click on any other icon on a Mac: a pop-up box that says: Open, Show Package Content, Move to Trash, Get Info, Rename, etc. If I double-click on the Dropbox icon in the Applications Folder, all that happens is I get a Finder window that shows the contents of my Dropbox folder. So this is a way to display the Dropbox folder, but it's not a good way. Let me restate the question: Under Mac Ventura, how do you get at the Dropbox preferences? Is that clear enough? Please do not answer any other question, and please do not ask me any questions, just answer this question: Where are Dropbox preferences under Mac Ventura? If you do not know the answer, how about asking someone who knows Mac? If there is a bug that makes this impossible, please tell us so.
Thank you for confirming this problem.
I'd given up, thinking that maybe I've made an error I can't discover.
Sounds like we have a bug. I wonder if this is because Dropbox has moved to a new location on our systems. But it does make it more likely we'll have to move to iCloud because Dropbox is too much of a nuisance.
Re: "...it does make it more likely we'll have to move to iCloud because Dropbox is too much of a nuisance.'
Eh, I have also talked to people who plan to resort to Dropbox because iCloud is too much of a nuisance. So thank you for your comment, but just thought I'd drop this in.
