    Super simple fix but it did not come easily. I removed a few apps from the menu bar and boom it showed up!

Hi Billth, sorry to hear about that! 

 

You'd need to access the app's preferences, using the little Dropbox icon located on the menu bar. 

 

If you're having trouble locating that, I'd be more than happy to troubleshoot with you further on this. Have you tried restarting the device, or uninstalling, then re-installing the app?

 

Let me know!

Please READ the entire thread. All of that has been tried or IS IMPOSSIBLE. We need someone who can grab their friend's Mac, and try this out for themselves.
