How to add DropBox icon to Tool Bar on Mac?
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!
Yes.
The tool bar at the top of the screen is where it used to be, and I'd like to get it back there.
Dropbox opens when I use Finder, and click on it from Locations, it's new place on the sidebar.
Try to restart Dropbox, if still your problem is not resolved then try to reinstall after this I hope your problem will be resolved. The other method is to customize your notification area through taskbar.
Thank you for the suggestion.
However, this did not change anything. I reinstalled Dropbox. I can still reach my Dropbox files stored locally. But I can't be sure anything is syncing with Dropbox in the cloud, so I must manually type in Dropbox, login online, and check.
And I have been searching for a setting for the toolbar, but nothing I try has worked.
To add the Dropbox icon to your toolbar on a Mac:
-
Open Finder and navigate to the Applications folder.
-
Find the Dropbox app and right-click (or control-click) on it.
-
Select "Options" and then "Keep in Dock" from the menu.
-
The Dropbox icon will now appear in your Dock.
Alternatively, you can also drag the Dropbox icon from the Applications folder and drop it onto the toolbar at the top of the screen. The Dropbox icon will then appear on the toolbar, and you can use it to quickly access your Dropbox account.
If the Dropbox icon is already in your Dock, but you want to remove it, simply right-click (or control-click) on the icon and select "Options" and then "Remove from Dock" from the menu. This will remove the icon from the Dock, but the Dropbox app will still be installed on your computer and you can access it through the Applications folder.

The Dropbox icon will now appear in your Dock. NOT FOR ME IT DOESN'T.
I will try to capture the menu I get and post it here.
N.B. As described earlier, I am unable to OPEN DROPBOX as a software. All I get is my local dropbox list of files, and no menu for the App at the top of the screen.
I'd like to know the answer to this question as well. Note that I am on MacOS 13 Ventura. A friend would like to get a Dropbox icon on his Desktop. He currently does not have a Dropbox icon in the Dock, also not in the menu bar at the top of the screen, also not as an icon on the Desktop, also not listed in the left-hand side of Finder windows. I have been watching as various support people do not understand or willfully ignore or pretend to answer the question but do not. To be clear: there is NO Dropbox icon in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen. There is NO Dropbox icon in the Dock. A right-click on the Dropbox app in the Applications folder produces the same result as a right-click on any other icon on a Mac: a pop-up box that says: Open, Show Package Content, Move to Trash, Get Info, Rename, etc. If I double-click on the Dropbox icon in the Applications Folder, all that happens is I get a Finder window that shows the contents of my Dropbox folder. So this is a way to display the Dropbox folder, but it's not a good way. Let me restate the question: Under Mac Ventura, how do you get at the Dropbox preferences? Is that clear enough? Please do not answer any other question, and please do not ask me any questions, just answer this question: Where are Dropbox preferences under Mac Ventura? If you do not know the answer, how about asking someone who knows Mac? If there is a bug that makes this impossible, please tell us so.
