No Dropbox Icon in Mac Menu Bar

The Dropbox icon no longer appears in my MacBook Pro Menu Bar.  I have downloaded and installed the Dropbox installer, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

Any idea why or how to get the icon back?

I am using OS Big Sur 11.5.2 on a MacBook Pro (15" 2018), Model # MacBookPro15,1

    Hey David M.25, thanks for reaching out to our Community!

    Can you try uninstalling the current version of the Dropbox app from your computer and then reinstall it from this link, to see if that works?

    Keep me posted!

    Thanks for the tip. Pretty obvious. Should have figured that out myself.
