Hey there, Thomas C. G., thanks for posting here! 

 

We don't have a setting that would allow you to temporarily "hide" the Dropbox icon and therefore settings depending on the OSX on your device. 

 

There might be some third-party apps that would allow you to do so, but I can't officially suggest a specific one. 

 

In any case the thread will remain open, and I'd be happy if any of our Community members commented and shared their suggestions with you.
