    I had the same problem. I went to System Preferences › Privacy and Security › Full Disk Access and I turned on GoogleDrive. Yes, I didn't misspelled it, Dropbox was already turned so I turned on also GoogleDrive. After this action Dropbox status icons started showing.

    I had the same problem and now just launched Google Drive and it fixes a Dropbox problem.  

    Isn't this a bit silly to remind Dropbox users of Google Drive.   So, why, not use Google Drive only?

    eferrariph, sorry to hear the issue still persists. 

    Can you send me a screenshot of what you’re seeing on your end exactly? 

    I’d also like to know the current syncing status and app version of your Dropbox app.

    Unfortunately, yes. Moreover, it sometimes stops working and requires disabling and reactivating Google Drive to function properly again. It's annoying.
