    Hey makere, thanks for the screenshot!

    It looks indeed like the Dropbox icon is missing from your Mac's doc. Would you mind clarifying the app's current syncing status?

    Have you tried uninstalling the app, restarting the device and re-installing it by any chance?

Hi makere, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you clarify what you're looking for exactly? Are you referring to having the Dropbox folder visible in Finder itself?

 

Have you installed the Dropbox desktop application on your device?

 

This will help me to assist further!

      Is it running? Can you see it at the top near the clock and date etc.?
