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'...

    Hey rovf, thanks for letting us know about this.

     

    Can you please hover your mouse over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar, to see the sync status and the version of the app?

     

    Also, if you go to ~/Library/CloudStorage, are you able to find the Dropbox folder?

     

    Let me know and we'll go from there.

In Finder, it seems Dropbox won't appear by default under "Locations". If you go to Finder > Settings… > Sidebar, you can put a check mark next to the items you want to be visible in the Finder sidebar. You have to check Cloud Storage (under Locations) for Dropbox to appear in the Finder sidebar.

This doesn't work. It only allows Dropbox to appear under "Favorites", but not "Locations".
