I solved my problem by re-installing dropbox app found on this link:

I found a link "download the dropbox app" and installed it on top of the existing installation and everything is now working fine again.

I am using windows 10, and yes, I am experiencing this dropbox icon disappearing from the system tray menu.
Charlotte L's steps doesn't work for me. install and reinstalling dropbox, does work, to make the icon appear, but it bothers me a lot, if i have to keep on install and reinstalling dropbox to make the icon appear the system tray.
The reason why it disappeared, is because I did not want dropbox to automatically sync. So i paused it. However, i usually turned off my computer with the sync processed paused. I thought this was the problem. So after reinstalling my dropbox, i tried to exit the dropbox, by right-cicking the icon. And you can all guess what happened....the icon disappeared....
Tried to do Charlotte L's steps, didnt work again..tried to browse to find solution, and it all doesnt work, because the solution available in the internet is almost similar with Charlotte's step.
One day, only once...i tried to right click the dropbox icon from my file explorer, and it suddenly appear. However, it never work again for me :(
Is there anyone still having the same problem with me? The only way to reappear dropbox icon is by reinstalling it again :(
I need to pause sync, because i don't have an unlimited access to the internet. Anyone can help me solve this problem?
