This is happening to me as well, and it started last week.

 

If you go into the task bar settings for what icons show up in the task bar you can see that drop box keeps turning the icon off after you set it to on.

 

Dropbox tech support:  How about you all take your customer's issues to heart and fix this!

 

Something changed after many years of working fine and now you have to keep going into the task bar settings and flipping the dropbox switches to show the icon, but if you close dropbox and reopen it the switches get flipped off by themselves!

 

What is the fix??  You can accidentally overwrite file when you don't want to if dropbox is running but you don't know if because you don't see the icon!

 

Please fix this!
