I have searched forever and cannot find a way to add the Dropbox icon to my new computer. Can someone help me?

Hey Landsmann_5472x, thanks for the fast response!

 

Do you click on the bigger icon on your menu bar, that redirects you to your Dropbox folder, or your little Dropbox icon next to your WiFi?

 

Would you mind clarifying your iMac's current OS, along with the Dropbox syncing status of the app at the moment?

 To answer your questions:  I have clicked on the small gray dropbox icon many times and only get a gray and black, broken up icon bouncing around. I am running OS 16.4.1, but don't know what you mean by "syncing status."

    Hm, I see Landsmann_5472x.

     

    Have you tried performing an advanced reinstall using these steps? If not, give it a go and let me know how it turns out.
