    Thank you so much for getting back with me! After I inquired I contacted Apple support. When they could not help me, I came back to the Dropbox help community and continued reading. Another individual was having the same problem and discovered that Dropbox was in another location in the MacOS Finder. I looked in that same location, but did not find it. However, I decided to just keep looking and discovered that it was located in my MacOS Finder under "Network". I have no idea how it ended up there, but was able to successfully return it to its original location in my Finder Sidebar.

    Again, thank you for reaching out; and thank you for providing this forum from which we can get answers. Even though it was somewhat indirectly, I was able to fix the issue because of Dropbox Community.

    Blessings,

Hey TRKelley01, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Can you please send us a screenshot of how this looks on your end so that we can have a visual too?

 

Also, what  is the desktop app's exact version and status as shown in your menu bar at the moment?
