MacOS: No "Dropbox" in the "Location" settings of Finder
I have updated Dropbox on MacOS (12.6.5), and I have learned that I should know be able to see "Dropbox" in Finder on the left hand pane under 'Locations'. However there is no such entry; 'Locations'...
Hello, I have the Cloud storage option checked, but I still cannot see the Dropbox in Locations in Finder. I can access Dropbox from the Dropbox app using the "Open Dropbox folder" option, or by opening the /Users/%user%/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox (add it to the Favorites section)
I had Dropbox in the Locations section after installing the new version of the app, but I lost it after reboot and it is not coming back 🙂

Dropbox StaffHi liviuteod, how are you today?
Have you tried the steps that maxymouse mentioned above?
You should be able to open Finder, click Finder in the top-left of your screen, then please access Preferences (macOS 12 or earlier) or Settings… (macOS 13 or later).
Click the Sidebar tab. Under Locations, check Cloud Storage.
Keep me posted on any updates!
I find this recommendation a bit problematic, as I don't have the mentioned "Cloud Storage" entry in my Finder/Preferences
On he Sidebar tab, I see under Locations:
my iMac
Hard Disks
External Disks
CDs, DVDs, ...
Bonjour Computers
ConnectedServers
(this is running macOS 10.15.7)

Hey rovf, sorry to jump in here, but could you send us a screenshot of the app's exact status and version of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your menu bar at the moment?
Also, can you navigate to the app's preferences under the sync tab and check the Dropbox folder's location for us?
I wanted to add a screenshot, but can't post it. The dropboxforum website says "Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body. The invalid HTML has been removed. Please review the message and submit the message when you are satisfied."
I hadn't explicitly entered any HTML, and I was "satisfied" with what I saw (nothing seemed to have been removed), but still submitting always brought the same error.

I think the Cloud Storage thing was only implemented in recent versions of macOS (13 or so). So I don't think this issue is relevant to your operating system.
Hey All,
I have the same issue. Dropbox used to appear as an option to check in my Finder settings. It no longer appears after recent update. Google and OneDrive are showing, just missing Dropbox?
BTW, Dropbox is working as some of the folders near the top of my screenshot are from Dropbox. I can access the files if I click in one of those folders
