Why won't the Dropbox icon stay in my menu bar?

Why won't the Dropbox icon stay in my menu bar? How can I get it to stay there?

Hey Warren J., have you tried reinstalling the app (without uninstalling it), to see if the icon gets back in your menu bar?

If it comes back, but keeps disappearing, I would also suggest uninstalling the app, restarting your computer and then reinstalling it.
