Dropbox app doesn't launch automatically in the menu bar (Mac)

Question

Since I updated Dropbox recently, the app no longer launches automatically nor does it appear in the top toolbar whenever I start up my MacBook. I have to manually launch it every time. I have looked at my list of login items in Mac Preferences, and Dropbox is definitely checked. Does anyone know if I can make the app launch automatically again?

Hi there, @Reet4, thanks for letting us know about this.

Can you go to the app's preferences, in the "general" tab and see if the "start Dropbox on system startup" option is enabled?

Let me know what you find.
