DropBox Icon missing on Menubar (yes Menubar, at top of screen) - Ventura 13.2 Macbook

I have the same question as asked previously by L Ricci. And I am definitely asking about the menubar at the top of the screen in Ventura on Macbook.

Running Ventura on a new MacBook Air and the Icon for Dropbox is gone from the toolbar at the top of the screen.

When I go to Finder/View "customize toolbar" is greyed out.

1) Is there a limit to the number of icons? The space looks full, and I would be willing to give up several of the default icons to get Dropbox added.

2) I've consulted Dropbox, with no help there. They have a new update I installed and was thinking it might be a bug on their end. But there is no chatter about anything like this, and 'natch very little knowledge of my environment.

So, is there a bug in my way on Ventura? Or did I do something to cause the option in Finder/View to turn off? I've been looking for a solution and may have tripped a switch I shouldn't have.

As Ricci notes in further comments, the DropBox app does not have a way to configure the icon into the menubar (although it is available in the Dock.

I found mine by reducing the number of other items in the menu bar. On my 14"pro it won't display the leftmost items if they get too close to the notch in the top center of the display. I kept items I don't need to see inside control center instead of on the bar.

No - gone from the menu bar on both macbooks here.. Right after I installed their new "for Mac" version after their popup. And since the app was moved to Library it cannot be launched from there as well, or configured...

This is true. It was infuriating that I could not see things like selective sync and other options without access to this icon. Opening the app itself from the Application folder/CommandLine does not give you access to those options.

A toolbar isn’t the menu bar. There isn’t any “customize menu bar.”

Yes, there is a limit to the space used by the status menu items.

Many of the Apple items can be set to only appear in Control Center.

There is a thud-party program, Bartender (I think), that lets you lard up the status menu area by creating multiple rows of items.

I don’t know anything about Dropbox functionality.
