Hi @mjbright, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Do you have a lot of icons on your menu bar, which could be hiding the Dropbox icon?

Keep me updated with any progress!

I'm having the same issue on a 2023 MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.6.1. I thought the same thing, but have deleted all optional icons and still no Dropbox icon. I've trashed both the app and my user data twice. When downloading and reinstalling Dropbox I get a message that states the account is linked and is missing the user data. I've relinked and everything comes back - but still no icon.
