How can I add the Dropbox icon to the toolbar on Mac device?
I recently set up Dropbox with the new location, as per Dropbox instructions. Seems fine. But I can't figure out how to return the Dropbox Icon to my toolbar.
MacBook Air running Ventura
Super simple fix but it did not come easily. I removed a few apps from the menu bar and boom it showed up!
To add the Dropbox icon to your toolbar on a Mac:
-
Open Finder and navigate to the Applications folder.
-
Find the Dropbox app and right-click (or control-click) on it.
-
Select "Options" and then "Keep in Dock" from the menu.
-
The Dropbox icon will now appear in your Dock.
Alternatively, you can also drag the Dropbox icon from the Applications folder and drop it onto the toolbar at the top of the screen. The Dropbox icon will then appear on the toolbar, and you can use it to quickly access your Dropbox account.
If the Dropbox icon is already in your Dock, but you want to remove it, simply right-click (or control-click) on the icon and select "Options" and then "Remove from Dock" from the menu. This will remove the icon from the Dock, but the Dropbox app will still be installed on your computer and you can access it through the Applications folder.

Select "Options" and then "Keep in Dock" from the menu. For this step, there is no "Options" nor "Keep in Dock" anywhere, including all sub menus.
The Dropbox icon will now appear in your Dock. NOT FOR ME IT DOESN'T.
I will try to capture the menu I get and post it here.
N.B. As described earlier, I am unable to OPEN DROPBOX as a software. All I get is my local dropbox list of files, and no menu for the App at the top of the screen.
