Hi cosfordparker, could you try quitting other menu bar icons for other apps to see if this reveals the Dropbox icon, as it's possible that it could be automatically hidden.

The large blue Dropbox icon takes me to a file list. Right-clicking on a file brings up does not bring up the Dropbox function menu.
The small Dropbox icon that used to be on my menu bar is missing.
Tried to attach screen-shots, but they drop off - sorry!

So - I've been fighting this for months and months - and the Dropbox icon was on the menu bar the whole time - but hidden. Geez. 😳
Thanks!!

My Dropbox Icons on the task bar and desktop BOTH only open my file explorer files list... I click on the Dropbox file to get to my files, but notice the camera uploads from my phone are NEVER up to date. I have to log into the Dropbox website on-line to get it to update. Right clicking on any file in the Dropbox file does NOT bring up any Dropbox features... only the regular file explorer options.
