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.

DB folder location is seen here

2 years agoHi Josephus F., it looks like your Dropbox folder is in the older location, and not in the new File Provider location.
It should still function as normal, with all the syncing features, since the sync icons are visible.

It looks OK now but this was Ventura OS
It does not look OK on Sonoma.
I do not see the DB icon in the screen menu so I cannot find the preferences for DB

The preferences for the Dropbox desktop application would be in the Dropbox menu bar icon at the top of the screen, near the clock, which I can see is visible in your screenshots.

I have two computers.Mac Book Air 15" with Sonoma and MacBook Pro 13" with Ventura installed.
Installing DB on Sonoma seems not possible
The DB icon is not visible in the meny bar in my computer that has Sonoma OS
The screenshot I have published belongs to another computer that has Ventura OS
