How to add DropBox icon to Tool Bar on Mac?
I recently set up Dropbox with the new location, as per Dropbox instructions. Seems fine. But I can't figure out how to return the Dropbox Icon to my toolbar.

Super simple fix but it did not come easily. I removed a few apps from the menu bar and boom it showed up!

Try to restart Dropbox, if still your problem is not resolved then try to reinstall after this I hope your problem will be resolved. The other method is to customize your notification area through taskbar.

Thank you for the suggestion.
However, this did not change anything. I reinstalled Dropbox. I can still reach my Dropbox files stored locally. But I can't be sure anything is syncing with Dropbox in the cloud, so I must manually type in Dropbox, login online, and check.
And I have been searching for a setting for the toolbar, but nothing I try has worked.

Hey LRicci, sorry to see your Dropbox icon is missing from your menu bar.
Just to check if the issue lies there, can you try the steps here, to make sure the Dropbox icon is selected to appear in your menu bar?

Thanks for looking at this.
Unfortunately, those pages don't provide a way to add an app to the menu bar/tool bar. They have an assortment of information to make the desktop do some dancing baloney, but nothing that adds an icon. I don't remember how the Dropbox icon was placed there before. So I've also tried a variety of drag and drop movements, and searched through Apple/System Settings, but haven't found anything that works.
Still hoping someone has figured this out and can share.
