Dropbox Icon Missing from Menu Bar

Hi, There are MANY posts in several forums with NO SOLUTION! Once updated to Ventura, the Dropbox icon has disappeared from my Mac menu bar and I cannot get it back there. It is a nuisance to have to open the Finder every time I want to access Dropbox! It was always there before. PLEASE, no solutions where I have to reprogram my entire computer!!

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.

Many apps not showing up Menu Bar Macbook Pro 2021. Many app icons fail to show in the menu bar. Apps include Dropbox, Bose Updater, and more. Tried uninstall and reinstall of affected apps, nothing works. The apps are successfully installed on my computer, but the icons (which are critical to use the apps) don't show up in the menu bar, making the apps unusable. Esp. Dropbox.

I'm replying to my own question! I finally decided to trash Dropbox, restart my computer, reinstall Dropbox and, voilà! The icon is back.
