How can I add the Dropbox icon to the toolbar on Mac device?

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.

MacBook Air running Ventura

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

Sorry to hear this, @Fab33.

What’s the exact OS version of your new device?

Thank you.

MacOS Ventura Version 13.3.1

I recently noticed that when I plug into an external monitor I see more of the apps in my toolbar and had to remove a bunch of the others before it would prioritise adding the dropbox app on my laptop screen.

What else is possible?

I found out the same yesterday… I had to delete an icon in the top bar to make space, and the Dropbox icon was there! I actually just took the am/pm out of the date, as I needed all the other icons, but it was enough to make space for Dropbox. Hurray!!
Wish there was a simple way to toggle those icons on or off though…. Crazy that they don’t have that option.

I am having the same problem, new laptop and using Ventura. I've never had this problem.

Eh, I have also talked to people who plan to resort to Dropbox because iCloud is too much of a nuisance. So thank you for your comment, but just thought I'd drop this in.
