Dropbox StaffHi there aakhmetz, thanks for reaching out to us about this.
As a first step, could you send me a screenshot (without any personal info) of what you see when you click on the Open folders in option from your General tab in your desktop app's Preferences?
Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Hello – thank you for your response. As in the screenshot above, I can see only "Show in Dropbox" (before it was "Show in Finder"). If I take a screenshot, I am interested to check it by Finder, not by your app
This is a screenshot of the preferences ("Finder" is indicated, but does not work for notifications)

Thanks for the screenshots, aakhmetz!
Out of curiosity, could you let me know if the desktop app or your Finder opens when you follow the steps below?
- Click on the Dropbox icon next to your computer's clock.
- Select the folder icon that appears on the top of the menu.
Let me know how it goes, thanks!
i have exactly the same issue. If i click the folder icon like you ask, the finder is normally opening.
the issue is that dropbox changed the screenshot notification from "Open in Finder" to "Open in Dropbox" We want the "open in finder" notification back.
