Lost Dropbox shortcut in Locations
Just installed DB 162.4.5419 on my Mbk Air M1 (Montery 12.6.1) and it created a shortcut labelled 'Dropbox' in Locations in the Finder Sidebar - NOT in favorites as previous. I gather this is to be ...
Thank you for your help! This remedied the problem. It is, however, a little different for Ventura users. See below:
In Ventura 13.1 go to:
- Finder Window
- Finder Settings
- Click on the "sidebar" icon
- In the "Locations" list click or unclick Cloud Storage, then click again so it is checked.
All your cloud storage locations will now show up. Dropbox should be back on there.
I looked into this problem again and this time, I managed to get the Dropbox folder icon back under "Locations" in the Finder sidebar.
To replicate:
- Open a Finder window
- Press CMD+, or go to Finder Preferences
- Look at Locations
- There's a bunch of stuff like "Hard disks", "External disks" etc
- You want to find "Cloud Storage"
- In my instance, the checkbox next to "Cloud Storage" shows a minus/dash, indicating not all options are checked
- I clicked on the checkbox so it becomes unchecked
- Then I checked it again so the checkbox shows a tick—not the minus/dash—so in the Mac UI language, a full tick means all options are checked, vs selected options as indicated by the minus/dash
That got Dropbox back under Locations in the Finder sidebar.
If you uncheck "Cloud Storage", you'll notice ALL cloud storage including Google Drive, is gone from Locations.
Checking brings all of them back.
@Megan, @Tacitus23 maybe you can confirm?

That solved it... showing Cloud Storage in the side bar. Thank you! 👍 So while *technically* it's an OS thing, I'd argue an update that relies on a visibility toggle that is set to off by default and is buried in a settings menu you use once every 3 years, is a fairly unhelpful user experience. Ideally the update process should, at some point, make you aware of this. Or maybe it's a sneaky way to get more forum sign-ups. Either way, thanks for the snooping and solving!
I could not agree more!
