Hey there @flixnpix, awesome work on giving a reinstall a try!

Since you've tried this out, could you check if there's a third party app that could be blocking or hindering the startup process?

For example, could you try disabling your antivirus or security program, and check that you've configured your firewall to work with Dropbox?

Let me know what you find!

 Lusil, before I did that, I went to Login Items in my user settings and deleted Dropbox, closed and saved it, then reopened Login Items and added it again. After rebooting, the Dropbox icon was back on my menu bar and everything is as it should be. Thanks!
