Dropbox does not show up in the Finder Side Bar (Apple Sonoma)
Google Drive appears in the SideBar section Locations but DropBox does not appear there
Why not ?
Okay, problem solved, or at least a workaround. I just clicked and dragged the DB file folder from my hard drive directory to the sidebar and it's now showing up. NOTICE that DB still DOES NOT show up in the Finder settings. In the past, it DID show and we could click the box to include it on the sidebar.
I'm going to do a restart and see if the DB folder stays on the sidebar. If you don't hear back from me, it did show up so this workaround worked. No news is good news.

Hey Josephus F., sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you please let us know the status and version of the Dropbox desktop app installed on your computer as shown in your menu bar and your Dropbox folder's location as shown in the app's preferences under the sync tab?Thanks so much!
DB folder location is seen here
This topic should close since there is no solution
Ok. I had the same issue with Sonoma. I found the app by quitting a couple of the menu bar apps that were running (one drive specfically). It's like there just was no longer room to view all the apps running in the menu bar.
Also, to view the drop box folder itself, look at the left navigation pane in finder. Hover over 'locations'. I did not see any links or folders or even an arrow to expand the view there until I hovered and clicked on the arrow that showed up.
Worked for me. Good luck.
