    I think I solved it.

    I removed my Outlook email accounts from the Outlook app and Windows account settings.

    I then added it back in Outlook, this time choosing Outlook.com as the account type (previousely I chose Exchange).

    Now the Dropbox add-in is loading every time without fail. And as a bonus, the OneNote add-in is loading as well (I completely forgot I had it installed).

Hey there outwardspiral, 
 
Currently, as you mention as well, the Dropbox for Outlook add-in is compatible with:
  • Outlook on web
  • outlook.com
  • Outlook desktop application version 2013 (Windows 10 and up) and 2016 (Windows 10 and up and Mac)
Nonetheless, out of curiousity, could you please let me know if you’ve tried rebooting your computer? Maybe that will do the trick. 
 
Let me know what you find!

    Rebooting doesn't fix it. Cheers.

      Woah... hang on!

      I just went back to my outlook app right after replying about rebooting not helping, and I found the add-in has returned.

      So now it's working again, contradictory to Outlook 365 being "not supported".

      I'm definitely not going to reset the ribbon again, and hope that it just keeps working.

      Cheers.

        Noooo!

        After relaunching Outlook, the add-in has vanished again!

        Bummer.
