Sync icons no longer appear in Finder after upgrading

FURTHER UPDATE:

The status icons are missing again, after computer went to sleep and was reawakened. Contextual menu no longer shows Dropbox commands.

Not good.

Hey vcaston, sorry to hear about this.

Could you send us a screenshot of the app's exact status as shown in your menu bar at the moment?

Also, if you happen to be running any 3rd party apps that might be monitoring your files somehow, you might want to take a look at this discussion too.

In any case, please keep me posted! 

Sure. Here's the Dropbox window just after signing in, with no status icons, and the menu bar icon showing that all syncs are up to date. 

Hey vcaston, just to check, did you recently upgrade your computer's OS?

Hi vcaston, let's try one more thing. 

Could you please try the following steps:

-Click on the Dropbox icon from your Desktop and quit the application
-Open your Activity Monitor from your Mac Utilities folder
-Force quit out of the instances of the Dropbox application that are running by searching for "Dropbox" in the search bar, then clicking on the "x" force quit icon on the top left
-Re-start Dropbox from the applications folder by double clicking on the Dropbox application
-Click on the Apple icon in the top left of your screen
-Click on "force quit"
-Relaunch the finder 

Let me know how it goes!

I'm very late to the party here, but I had the same problem. What I needed to do (besides the other things – full disk access, finder re-launch etc – was to uncheck a finder extension that I can't remember seeing on earlier operating systems; specifically "FinderHelper" (for Google Drive). After unticking that box, as well as not running the main Google Drive finder extension, everything works fine.

I am having this same issue, although nothing in this thread has worked to rectify the problem. This is a fresh, clean install from scratch on the machine. I'm on Ventura 13.6.6 and Dropbox v196.4.6900.

I have already:
- Quit and reopened Dropbox
- Force Quit Finder and relaunched
- Granted Dropbox full disk access
- Checked/tested for any conflicting Finder Extensions (the only others installed are Keka and Creative Cloud).
- I have repeated relaunching Dropbox/Finder after making changes as well as rebooting.

Nothing I can seem to do will bring back the sync icons in Finder, and this is a feature I very much want to have back working.

Thank you!

ThisHighUp, when relaunching your Finder, did you follow these exact steps? 

Other than that, have you performed an advanced reinstall of the Dropbox app?
