EDIT: They like to keep playing with the toolbar.

Since Android Studio 3.3, the icon has been updated and moved back across to the right:

Original answer:

It hasn't disappeared. They have just moved it between the Save and Sync files button on the far left end of the toolbar.

I had to open /android/ on its own in Android Studio (you can click Open for Editing in Android Studio in the top right corner) and then you have this options in the toolbar and in File/Synch Project with Gradle Files (when viewing .gradle file).

If you encounter this issue within a Flutter project and you cannot find the sync method, you can click on the build.gradle file and then click on Open for Editing with Android Studio at the top right. This will open just the Android project in a new Android Studio window and you will be able to see all the Gradle commands then (for example, under File > Sync...).

You can use this shortcut Ctrl + Shift + A to get not only sync but also other action if you found trouble to get them.A window will appear and you can type some command that you would like IntelliJ to run. Just type "sync" in there and it will find that command Sync Project with Gradle Files, even if it's not visible on the menu.
