macOS Sonoma Menu Bar icons do not keep position and move to the far left after each restart.

On macOS Sonoma 14.2.1, I arrange my Menu Bar icons in a specific order for efficiency, but after every restart my Dropbox icon moves to the far left of the Menu Bar. I use multiple displays, and when only use MacBook display the Dropbox Icon completely disappears from the Menu Bar.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.2

It sounds like the Dropbox menu bar 'menulet' is an issue.


I would try removing it and compare your results across the board. Search the Dropbox setting for no menubar...


Dropbox is easily accessed through the Finder

Thanks for the reply Leroy, where can I find the "menulet" to remove?


I know I can access Dropbox in finder, but I use DB for actively sharing and backing up of my documents, thus I use the icon in menubar to quickly access recently accessed and saved docs, so using finder is very cumbersome.


This only Started happening in Ventura, but now in Sonoma as well. There must be a fix for this?
