    Hi skiblues, thanks for joining the Community.

    If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link?

    Keep me updated with any progress!

Jay - thanks for getting back to me.  So I found out that we are limited to the number of icons in the Menu Bar.  I deleted one that I did not need and then the Dropbox icon showed up.  So it turned out to be just a space issue on the Menu Bar.  I am now all good.  

 

Thanks again.
