How to remove dropbox icon from taskbar
How to remove dropbox icon from taskbar without closing app? In prefernces I have choosen Dropbox icon>never show, yet it is there.
Oh, that's the Dropbox Badge - not the icon from your task bar DeerUser69!
If you want to disable the Badge take a look below:

If you'd like to completely hide the Dropbox icon from your taskbar you can disable the automatic start-up but then again you won't be syncing your files so I'd be cautious here.
I hope this clears things up a tad.

Hi! First of all, thank you the answer
that's not a solution to the "problem" a mentioned earlier.. you are saying to me to "CLOSE THE APP" that will stop the syncronize. Instead hide the icon at systray. you guys should try to implement into explorer folder the real status of files. Like a progress bar for each file or a statusbar for the "dropbox folder"... keep as a windows service and a folder updating in background.
like i said, i don't want the icon, but i want the folder be update with the dropbox service.
Have a nice day

Hey toddynho,
Apologies for the misunderstanding there as I believed you were referring to the icon appearing in the dock and not the small Dropbox icon near the system tray's clock display.
With the steps mentioned above it wouldn't stop syncing, however this doesn't apply to what you're referring to in this case. I'll be happy to pass along your comments for review to the team regarding having the option for this to not show.
Thanks!
